In this article OWL CG ARES KKR BX Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT The rush for the exits in private credit is prompting fresh scrutiny of the sector's less-liquid structures and its rapid expansion into the retail wealth space. Blackstone has become the latest fund manager to be hit by a surge in requests from investors to withdraw from its flagship private credit strategy. The asset manager said this week it will meet 100% of redemption requests in its gigantic $82 billion Blackstone Private Credit Fund, or BCRED, after investors sought to pull a record 7.9% of assets from the fund, or about $3.8 billion. That came after Blue Owl Capital said last month it was ending regular quarterly liquidity payments in its Blue Owl Capital Corporation II fund, a semi-liquid private credit strategy aimed at U.S. retail investors. The private credit specialist will instead switch to periodic payouts funded by asset sales, earnings and other strategic deals. This spike in redemption requests is now putting the private market industry's courting of retail investors under closer scrutiny, and bringing the mismatch between non-publicly-traded, higher-yielding illiquid assets and retail-style access into sharper focus. 'A feature, not a bug' Blackstone — the world's biggest alternative investment manager, with $1.27 trillion in assets under management — said it was upping a previously-announced tender offer to 7% of total shares, with the firm and employees offsetting the remaining 0.9%, in order to meet the redemption requests in full. Blackstone Chief Operating Officer and President Jon Gray acknowledged that the risk of private credit firms failing to meet withdrawals, and potentially gating investors' money, is "not beneficial in the near term" for the sector. But speaking with CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Tuesday, Gray said individual investors and financial advisors "in most cases do" understand the product. Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon Blackstone.

Michael H/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment Summary My previous investment thought on LKQ Corporation ( LKQ ) was a hold rating because I saw no strong catalyst that would result in multiples getting re-rated upwards. The setup is better than before, in my view. Specialty has clearly improved, and North America continues to take share in a weak market. However, I do not think LKQ has done enough to justify an upgrade since organic growth remains weak, margins are still under pressure, and Europe is not fixed. 4Q25 Results Update LKQ's Q4 headline revenue number looked better than it really was. Total revenue grew 2.7% y/y on a reported basis, with total parts and services revenue up 2.2%, but that number included a 3.7% FX tailwind. Organically, parts and services revenue was down 1.7%. Splitting by regions, North America remains as the best-performing part (relatively) of the business. Parts and services revenue was down 0.7% organically here, while Europe's organic growth was down 4.8%. By segments, Specialty did really well with organic growth of 7.8%. Other than this, there weren't really any other positives. EBIT fell 40.9% y/y, while segment EBITDA was down to $321 million from $392 million. Net income from continuing operations was also down 50% y/y, and diluted EPS went from $0.58 to $0.29, while adj. diluted EPS fell to $0.59 from $0.78. Areas That Have Turned Better Looking ahead, there are reasons to turn optimistic. One of the negative points I made before is that there was no obvious near-term catalyst that could shift sentiment. That is no longer true. While management was not explicit that they would do it, they mentioned the possibility of a potential sale of the company (which is still in process to explore a sale of the Specialty segment). While the timing of this happening is virtually impossible to know, it does help with the stock sentiment (forming a valuation floor). On the part about the sale of Specialty, the value of it should have ...

For profitable companies that also generate meaningful revenue, the P/S ratio can be a useful sense check because it compares what the market is paying for each dollar of sales, regardless of capital structure or accounting choices that affect earnings. Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests Tesla may be overvalued by 214.9%. Discover 47 high quality undervalued stocks or create your own screener to find better value opportunities. After summing all these discounted cash flows, the model arrives at an estimated intrinsic value of $128.92 per share. Compared with the recent share price of US$405.94, the DCF output suggests Tesla is very expensive, with an implied overvaluation of 214.9% on this set of assumptions. For Tesla, the model used is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach, based on cash flow projections. The latest twelve month Free Cash Flow is about $5.3b. Analyst and extrapolated projections in the model run out to 2035, with a forecast Free Cash Flow of $25.1b in 2030 and higher figures in later years, all converted into today’s dollars using a discount rate. A Discounted Cash Flow model takes estimates of the cash Tesla could generate in the future and discounts those amounts back to today, to arrive at an estimate of what the business might be worth now. Tesla scores just 0/6 on our valuation checks. See what other red flags we found in the full valuation breakdown . On our valuation checks Tesla currently scores 0 out of 6 . We will walk through what different valuation approaches say about that score and then finish by looking at a broader way to think about value that goes beyond a single number. Recent headlines around Tesla have continued to center on its role as a major electric vehicle maker and its visibility in discussions about large cap growth stocks. These themes often shape how investors think about risk, which can influence how the market prices the shares at any point in time. Tesla recently closed at US$405.94, with a 2.7...

Nikada Asian stocks increased significantly on Thursday, led by South Korea's KOSPI recovering from losses due to bargain buying and positive signals from Wall Street.

Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) held above $72,000 on Thursday, trading near a four-week high, as markets recover from volatility linked to the ongoing Middle East war. Gold rose to about $5,170 per ounce on Thursday, building on the prior session’s advance as investors sought safety amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. South Korea's KOSPI index ( KOSPI ) surged 11% to above 5,600 on Thursday after tumbling nearly 20% over the previous three sessions, as semiconductor and broader technology shares bounced back from the historic selloff. The South Korean won steadied around 1,461 per dollar, halting a sharp selloff in the previous session that had driven it to a 17-year low. Japan ( NKY:IND ) rose 2.24% to above 56,500, while the broader Topix advanced 3.5% to 3,760 on Thursday, recovering losses from earlier in the week.

At the opening of Thursday’s National People’s Congress, Premier Li Qiang unveiled a GDP growth target of 4.5% to 5% for 2026 . This modest goal signals a definitive new chapter of "sober growth," marking the most restrained economic ...
