On February 19, Raymond James said a headline published by the Financial Times suggesting that Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE:OWL) had permanently halted redemptions appears to have contributed to the stock’s roughly 9% decline, though it believes the framing is misleading.
The firm noted that redemptions for the OBDC II fund have already been paused since November. Raymond James added that Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE:OWL) plans to make OBDC II investors whole over time, making a reopening of the redemption window unlikely. The firm also pointed out that the fund represents only a small portion of Blue Owl’s roughly $307 billion in AUM and called the stock’s move an overreaction while maintaining a Strong Buy rating on the shares.
