Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/owl#NYSE">OWL</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.19 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This compares to earnings of $0.16 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.16 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.17, delivering a surprise of 6.25%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Blue Owl Capital, which belongs to the Zacks Financial - Investment Management industry, posted revenues of $520.01 million for the quarter ended June 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.52%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $416.94 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Blue Owl Capital shares have added about 28% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 15.8%.
<h2>What&#39;s Next for Blue Owl Capital?</h2>
While Blue Owl Capital has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Blue Owl Capital: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.22 on $561.72 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.81 on $2.17 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Financial - Investment Management is currently in the bottom 34% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
PennantPark (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pflt#NYSE">PFLT</a>), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2024. The results are expected to be released on August 7.
This investment company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.32 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -11.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
PennantPark&#39;s revenues are expected to be $47.63 million, up 26.3% from the year-ago quarter.

Tuesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from PennantPark Floating Rate (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFLT#NYSE">PFLT</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a monthly dividend of 10.25 cents per share. On Wednesday, PennantPark Floating Rate will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout.

In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Wednesday. Shareholders who own PFLT as of the end of Tuesday's session are eligible to receive the 10.25 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on March 01, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

JMP Securities Maintains Market Outperform on PennantPark Floating Rate, Raises Price Target to $12.5

Thursday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from PennantPark Floating Rate (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFLT#NYSE">PFLT</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Wednesday that it would pay shareholders a monthly dividend of 10.25 cents per share. On Friday, PennantPark Floating Rate will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 10.25 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Friday. Shareholders who own PFLT as of the end of Thursday's session are eligible to receive the 10.25 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on February 01, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
