Apollo Global Management reports Q3 2026 loss despite AUM reaching $1.07 trillion

Apollo Global Management posted a GAAP net loss of $1.06 billion for the third quarter, driven by unrealised mark‑to‑market adjustments. Revenue fell 51.8% year‑over‑year to $4.74 billion while fee‑related earnings rose 23% to $802 million. Assets under management grew to $1.07 trillion, up 2.5% from the end of June, supported by $53 billion of net inflows in the quarter. The board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.5625 per share and the stock slipped 3.5% after the release.

The loss and revenue decline signal weaker earnings momentum, but the AUM growth and higher fee‑related earnings suggest continued investor demand for alternative assets. The dividend indicates the company’s intent to return cash to shareholders despite the loss.
