  • Apollo Global Management's fourth-quarter profit exceeded expectations, helped by a strong growth in fees and solid performance in its retirement business, sending shares of the company up 4% in premarket trading on Tuesday.

Apollo Global Management Inc reported a fourth-quarter profit that exceeded Wall Street expectations, driven by a significant increase in assets under management. The company's adjusted net income rose to $1.2 billion, or $1.91 per share, surpassing the average analyst estimate of $1.71 per share. This performance was bolstered by a 25% surge in assets under management to $650.8 billion, fueled by strong fundraising and market appreciation. Apollo also highlighted a 16% increase in fee-related earnings to $466 million, reflecting higher management fees from the expanded asset base. Despite these gains, the firm noted a slight decrease in its spread-related earnings due to lower earnings from Athene, its retirement services arm, although this was offset by growth in other areas of its business.
