Cash vs Debt
The company holds $554.0M in cash, though total debt stands at $15.88B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. Annual free cash flow of $909.4M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. Return on equity stands at 8.3%, which is decent for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 4.9% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has grown from $741.0M (2022) to $1.51B (2025), reflecting a 103% increase over the period.
The relatively low beta of 0.62 suggests ARCC is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. Ares Capital Corporation carries a heavier debt load relative to its cash position, which introduces financial risk that investors should weigh. No single metric tells the full story. Reviewing ARCC's risk profile alongside its fundamentals and technical indicators provides a more complete picture.
