Ares Management Gains 3.33% on Institutional Buys and Sector Momentum Trading Volume Ranks 423rd with 74.78% Surge

On August 12, 2025, Ares Management (ARES) surged 3.33% to $192.29, with a trading volume of $250 million—a 74.78% increase from the previous day—ranking it 423rd in market activity. The stock approached its 52-week high of $200.485 amid a mix of institutional buying and sector dynamics.

Key drivers include a $13.42 million stake acquired by King Luther Capital Management in Q1, signaling long-term confidence. Earnings revealed $1.35 billion in revenue, surpassing forecasts, though EPS of $1.03 fell below estimates. A 2.4% dividend yield, despite a 258.96% payout ratio, attracted income-focused investors. Sector-wide momentum, including strong secondary funding activity, reinforced ARES’s rally.

Technical indicators show the stock near the upper Bollinger Band ($192.63) and a 200-day moving average of $169.76. RSI at 64.78 and MACD at 3.42 suggest a balance between bullish and bearish signals. The $193.135 intraday high remains a critical level for further upside.

Backtesting ARES’s performance after a 3% intraday surge shows positive outcomes: a 58.51% 3-day win rate, 62.77% 10-day win rate, and 72.80% 30-day win rate. Average returns were 0.50% (3-day), 1.48% (10-day), and 4.28% (30-day), with a maximum gain of 8.59% observed over 30 days. This suggests short-to-medium-term potential following significant intraday moves.
