Recent Developments at The Carlyle Group: Stakes, Performance, and Dividend Increase
[stock_market_widget type=”chart” template=”basic” color=”#3946CE” assets=”CG” range=”1mo” interval=”1d” axes=”true” cursor=”true” range_selector=”true” api=”yf”]The Carlyle Group Inc. is a well-known financial services provider that specializes in private equity investment, management, and advisory services. Over the last few months, there have been several important developments related to the company’s stock and overall performance that warrant attention.
Firstly, several institutional investors and hedge funds have recently contributed to or reduced their stakes in The Carlyle Group. Raymond James Financial Services Advisors Inc., for example, grew its position in the firm by 3.3% during Q1 of this year, now owning over 112,975 shares worth $3.5 million. In contrast, major shareholder Carlyle Group Inc. sold two million shares of CG stock earlier last month at an average price of $86.12 per share.
Financial analysts have also been monitoring The Carlyle Group’s performance closely in recent weeks and months. While the company has received some positive coverage from firms like Citigroup who rated it a “buy”, others such as BMO Capital Markets have lowered their target prices based on current trends within the financial industry.
However, despite some mixed reviews from industry analysts in recent weeks and lower revenue than predicted for Q1 earnings ($754.20m compared to a consensus estimate of $805.50m), The Carlyle Group remains hopeful for a strong fiscal year ahead with expected EPS at 2.72.
Finally, despite these recent changes in fortune, The Carlyle Group announced in May that it would increase its quarterly dividend from $0.33 to $0.35 per share – representing an annualized dividend yield of nearly 4%.
In conclusion, while The Carlyle Group has experienced some ups and downs recently amid fluctuations within the wider financial industry, it remains a top-performing private equity firm with significant potential going forward – especially given its expanding commitment to rewarding investors through increased dividends payments this quarter.
