On August 13, Apollo Global Management LLC rose 3.85% in regular trading, trading at $143.81/share, with turnover of $283 million. The rally was driven by continued momentum from NVIDIA's announcement of a joint AI compute infrastructure financing platform with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR, aiming to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital and establish AI compute as an investable asset class.
The market interprets this massive financing arrangement as a direct positive for private credit and alternative investments, as the large capital pipeline implies long-term management fee income growth. Alternative asset managers including Apollo have rallied 3% to 7% on the news. Additionally, Apollo recently completed a $2.6 billion financing agreement with Yankee Global Enterprises through its sports capital arm, and appointed a new AI industry head to deepen its chip sector coverage, signaling accelerating strategic deployment.
Fundamentally, Apollo reported Q2 total revenue of $11.15 billion, up 63.7% year-over-year, far exceeding market expectations, while maintaining its outlook for over 20% fee-related earnings growth this fiscal year.
