Michael Cyprys has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that reflect the current financial outlook for the Carlyle Group. One of the primary reasons for this rating is the adjustment in the earnings per share (EPS) forecast for the second quarter of 2025, which has been lowered by 3% to $0.86. This revision indicates a cautious stance on the company’s near-term financial performance.
Additionally, the decision to maintain an equal-weight position is influenced by an increase in the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to 10x on the 2026 EPS. This adjustment suggests a balanced view of the company’s valuation in relation to its earnings potential. While the stock price remains relatively stable, the overall assessment points to limited immediate upside, prompting a Hold recommendation for investors considering the stock’s future trajectory.
Cyprys covers the Financial sector, focusing on stocks such as Marketaxess Holdings, Apollo Global Management, and Franklin Resources. According to TipRanks, Cyprys has an average return of 4.2% and a 52.79% success rate on recommended stocks.
