Bruce Hamilton’s rating is based on several key factors that highlight the potential for CVC Capital Partners plc’s stock to perform well in the future. Firstly, the company has shown a reassuring improvement in carry fees, with management indicating a significant year-over-year enhancement in 2025, despite not yet reaching mid-term targets. This positive outlook is further supported by a de-escalation in tariffs, suggesting that the worst of the macroeconomic challenges may be behind us, allowing for a gradual recovery in capital markets.
Additionally, CVC’s shares have underperformed compared to their peers, presenting an attractive entry point for investors. The company’s strong positioning in the private equity market, along with its potential for scalability in infrastructure, credit, and secondaries, offers significant growth opportunities. Furthermore, CVC’s focus on European markets and the potential for increased wealth allocation provide additional upside potential, making the stock a compelling buy according to Hamilton’s analysis.
According to TipRanks, Hamilton is ranked #877 out of 9519 analysts.
