• Neutral Sentiment: Two sell‑side firms trimmed price targets: Goldman Sachs cut its target from $169 to $134 (maintaining a buy), and Piper Sandler lowered its target from $165 to $146 (maintaining overweight). The rating retention softens the hit, but lower targets reduce near‑term upside assumptions. Article Title
• Negative Sentiment: Marathon Asset Management’s CEO warned of a looming correction in direct lending — calling out software loans as most at risk and forecasting much higher default rates in that segment — a direct headwind for Apollo given its sizeable private‑credit exposure. Why Marathon’s Richards Is Worried About Direct Lending
• Negative Sentiment: Numerous law firms have filed or issued investor alerts about a securities class action tied to recent investigative reporting (so‑called “Epstein Files” links) and are soliciting lead plaintiffs — multiple notices set a May 1, 2026 deadline for filings.
