The main question: the P/BV is near the low end of its own history, higher than only 16% of past readings, but results are getting worse. A low multiple can stay low until the quarters turn. ## What is the Ares Capital share price today? Ares Capital Corporation's share price was $19.01 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been stalling near its high for 2 weeks. That is 0.1% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 1 week running. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $17 and $21, and at that close it sat 44% of the way up from that low. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +36% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 30 October 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Ares Capital pay? Ares Capital Corporation paid $1.92 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.48 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $19.01 that is a yield of 10.10%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Ares Capital on? Ares Capital is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Ares Capital profitable? Ares Capital Corporation earned $171 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −52.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $1.3 B. Over 4 years profit has grown −4.6% a year on average. That is 22.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $361 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $1.3 B (−14.7% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +3.1% on a year earlier and the margin moved −26.2 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −32.4% and revenue +3.2%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Ares Capital make, and is it growing? Ares Capital Corporation reported $768 M of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, +3.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 13.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $3.1 B. The last four reported quarters add to $3.1 B. FY25 revenue was $3.1 B, +2.1% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +3.2% on average, against 13.8% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +3.2%, against +5.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −29.0%, against −24.5% a year (rolling over). ## How much does Ares Capital keep from what it earns? Ares Capital Corporation's net margin was 22.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 26.2 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 28.6% and 86.1%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of Ares Capital's loans have gone bad? Ares Capital Corporation does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is Ares Capital's loan book growing? Ares Capital Corporation's revenue was $3.1 B in FY25, +2.1% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +3.1% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 22.3%, −26.2 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is Ares Capital's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Ares Capital Corporation's P/BV is 1.0×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 16% of the time. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.1×, over 5.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is low: this lender earns about 6% a year on its equity. A lender that earns less on its net worth is valued lower for each dollar of it, and that gap usually closes only if returns improve. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −6.6%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved −2.0% a year; about +0.9% a year came from book-value growth and about −2.9 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Ares Capital business getting better or worse? Ares Capital Corporation's business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −29.0% in the latest quarter, against +153.8% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROE falling at 6.9%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Ares Capital earn on its equity and assets? Ares Capital Corporation earned a return on equity of 9% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was 6% in FY22. On its assets, every $100 earned about $4.78, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That return is below the level a bank needs to grow its net worth quickly, which helps explain why its multiple is where it is. Why ROE moved: profit grew −4.6% a year over 4 years while net worth grew more slowly. When earnings recover faster than net worth builds up, ROE climbs off its low. ## Does Ares Capital have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the Ares Capital shareholding pattern? We have no ownership or short-position figures for Ares Capital Corporation, so this section says so rather than fill the gap. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 8.7 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. ## How far is Ares Capital from balance-sheet trouble? For Ares Capital Corporation, the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does Ares Capital rank in its industry? 35.7 out of 100, rank 23 of 30 in Asset Management, with 76% of the evidence available. Ares Capital Corporation scores 35.7 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Asset Management, ranking 23. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 10 + 14 + 4.6 + 7.1 = 35.7. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Ares Capital compared with? Ares Capital ranks 23 of 30 Asset Management companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 35.7 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
