Citi keeps a Neutral rating on Carlyle Group with a $45 price target and opened a “90-day positive catalyst watch” on the shares, expecting the company’s fundraising trends to improve over the coming months. The environment for the alternative asset managers improved modestly in Q2 relative to Q1, with deployment activity picking up, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, fundraising “remains in a lower gear, and monetization activity remains sporadic,” adds Citi. The firm’s favorite names at the moment are Blue Owl Capital (OWL) and Apollo Global (APO).
