What we can say
We don't publish a discounted-cash-flow fair value for Ares Management Corporation (ARES) because the free data sources we rely on don't expose the multi-year financials a DCF needs — common for small or thinly-covered listings. Rather than invent numbers, this page shows an honest snapshot of what the public data does support: the current price and size, any relative valuation multiples that exist, a book-value view, and a price-based read. Treat it as a descriptive starting point, not a valuation and not investment advice.
Read the full reasoning
On the numbers we do have, ARES trades at a recent price of $113.58, a market capitalisation of about $37,684,768,768, sitting 21% of the way up its 52-week range ($95.80–$181.19), on the NYSE.
The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing ARES's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/E of 52.3× (richer than the peer median of 14.2×); Fwd P/E of 16.0× (richer than the peer median of 13.3×); P/B of 10.3× (richer than the peer median of 2.6×); P/S of 7.2× (richer than the peer median of 4.7×); EV/EBITDA of 31.2× (richer than the peer median of 24.5×); Dividend yield of 4.8% (cheaper than the peer median of 1.9%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.
The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. ARES shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 10.30 and book value of $11.03 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.
Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. ARES is in a mixed trend, trading -37.3% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is -23.4%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
