Michael Cyprys has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors, including a slight downward revision in Apollo Global Management’s earnings per share (EPS) estimates for the second quarter of 2025. The EPS estimate was adjusted from $1.90 to $1.88, reflecting a modest shortfall in financial results compared to consensus expectations. Despite this, the price target for Apollo’s stock was increased by 3% to $135, supported by a slightly higher price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 15x for the projected 2026 EPS.
Cyprys’s decision to maintain a Hold rating suggests a balanced view, acknowledging both the positive and negative aspects of Apollo’s financial outlook. The upward adjustment in the price target indicates some confidence in the company’s future performance, yet the modest EPS revision implies caution. Investors are advised to consider this analysis as one of several factors when making investment decisions, as the report highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to evaluating stock performance.
