Blue Owl Capital's $330 billion in assets under management and Q3 earnings beat reinforce the bullish thesis behind a Strong Buy rating targeting 25%+ annualized returns. Distributable EPS beat estimates and the $0.23 quarterly dividend was maintained despite a 96% payout ratio. The risks have not disappeared; this is not a SWAN stock. x.com 

Blue Owl is past the point of being cooked as redemption requests at its private credit funds far exceed expectations. Per @negligible_cap, Blue Owl Technology Income Corp received 40.7% redemption requests and Blue Owl Credit Income Corp 21.9% in Q1, with redemptions kept to 5%. The stock fell 9.5%. x.com 

Blue Owl Capital's pristine financial model rests on assumptions that just broke. Its $2.92 billion revenue, 45% net margins and rising distributable earnings require every loan to keep performing. Yet Blue Owl suspended its Oracle data center project, gated investor redemptions because assets cannot be sold fast enough, and Jamie Dimon warned private credit players will blow up. With Brent at $119, no rate cuts through 2027 and memory shortages delaying builds, restructuring is the next crack. … Show more

Blue Owl's problem is its product, not its narrative: it sold retail investors illiquid private credit with no exit. Weeks after co-CEO Marc Lipschultz called its tech portfolio pristine with no red or yellow flags, investors sought to withdraw 41% of that fund and could get only 5%. His pay is tied to management fee revenue, not performance or credit losses, so executives profit from gathering capital even as loans sour or funds gate. Investors should run from anything associated with Blue Owl. … Show more

Blue Owl sits at the center of a private credit scandal that has yet to peak, and its stock has more downside after reaching a head-and-shoulders target. Per @junkbondinvest, Trump signed an order letting 401(k)s invest in private markets just as semi-liquid funds gate redemptions and BDCs cut dividends, making retail retirement money the exit liquidity. Ordinary savers risk becoming the bagholders. x.com 

Blue Owl is a falling knife because private credit is the new junk paper and the credit event has not even hit yet. Replying to @infraa_, who floated nibbling on private-credit longs like Blue Owl, buying here is catching a falling knife blindfolded. x.com
