As of the October 15, 2026 close, ARES finished 7.25% below its 150-day moving average ($121.28) and 10.24% below its 200-day moving average ($125.33). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is ARES overbought or oversold?
At the October 15, 2026 close, ARES's RSI(14) was 32.3, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was positive, so short-term momentum leaned bullish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, ARES has $1.85B in cash with $14.87B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Free cash flow comes in at $2.16B, providing flexibility for reinvestment, buybacks, or dividends. Consistent free cash flow generation is often considered a sign of operational health. ROE of 14.9% points to decent capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 4.6% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has grown from $3.06B (2022) to $5.60B (2025), reflecting a 83% increase over the period.
With a beta above 1.5, ARES tends to amplify broader market moves — both up and down. This higher volatility means larger price swings are common. The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. At over 50x earnings, ARES carries valuation risk — any slowdown in growth expectations could lead to meaningful price adjustments. Understanding these risk dimensions helps frame what to watch going forward as conditions evolve for Ares Management Corporation and its sector.
