📈 Top AI Scorers of the Week 

It’s nice when you see a stock consistently get high ratings like Astera Labs (ALAB) or Marvell Technology (MRVL). But honestly, it’s refreshing to see new names like Amer Sports, Apollo Global, and McGrath in our top 5.

Today, we’re going to focus on Apollo Global Management specifically. Why? Because it’s a company that specifically deals in alternative assets like private credit, private equity, and real assets. And whenever we find an opportunity to get exposure to alternative assets in a highly-rated form like this, we’re interested.

Stock spotlight: Apollo Global Management (APO)

Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE: APO) is one of the leading global alternative investment management firms. Founded in 1990, Apollo focuses on three primary business segments: private equity, credit, and real assets. The firm has a diversified client base, including pension plans, endowments, and sovereign wealth funds, and it manages a substantial pool of assets globally.

Notable narratives for APO from AltIndex’s news aggregator:

• Apollo Global’s (APO) Funds to Acquire Major U.S. Hydropower Platform (Insider Monkey, Yahoo Finance)

• Apollo Global Management (NYSE:APO) shareholders are still up 230% over 5 years (Simply Wall St., Yahoo Finance)

Price prediction:

The data:

• Revenue: $6.81B. Up 22.82% QoQ and 13.23% YoY.

• Net income: $630M. Up 48.24% QoQ but down 23.36% YoY.

• EBITDA: $1.26B. Down 20.00% from the last quarter and down 29.71% from last year.

• Analyst rating: 72% buy

• Price Momentum: negative price movement both short and long term

• Insider trades: there has been insider selling recently, potentially signaling profit taking

Alt data from the past few months:

• Job listings ↓ 42%

• Employee business outlook is 85% positive

• Web traffic ↑ 32%

• Twitter followers ↑ 6%

The verdict:

AI score: 78/100 — a buy signal.

Current price: $122.25

Price prediction: $141.47 (15.5% upside)

Bottom line: Based on our AI model’s analysis, Apollo Global Management exhibits mixed but overall positive signals. While the fundamental metrics show parts of positive growth, the operational challenges, as indicated by declining EBITDA and insider selling, warrant caution. The technical indicators highlight a bearish trend, and current price movements could concern potential investors. However, high employee sentiment and increased web traffic present bullish signals in the alternative data analysis. The high AI score further supports this optimism.

Considering these factors, our AI model thinks it could be worth keeping an eye on Apollo Global Management for those looking to invest.
