The company's operating margin remained stable at 58%.

Publication Date: Nov -10

📋 Highlights
  • Record Fundraising & Earnings Growth:: Fee-related earnings surged 17% YoY to $754M, while fee-bearing capital hit $581B, up 8%, driven by $30B in Q3 fundraising and $106B over 12 months.
  • Infrastructure & Renewable Power Performance:: Raised $30B, deployed $30B, and monetized $10B at 20% returns over 12 months, alongside a $20B global energy transition fund and AI infrastructure fund targeting $7T.
  • Capital Deployment & Monetization:: Over $70B deployed in 12 months, with $106B raised, including $20B for the second global transition fund and $17B for real estate strategies.
  • 2030 Growth Targets:: Aims to double business by 2030, targeting $5.8B fee-related earnings, $5.9B distributable earnings, and $1.2T fee-bearing capital, supported by the Oaktree acquisition (expected H1 2026).

Fundraising and Deployment Momentum

The company's infrastructure and renewable power franchise raised $30 billion, deployed $30 billion, and monetized over $10 billion at approximately 20% returns over the past 12 months. Brookfield launched its AI infrastructure fund, targeting $7 trillion in AI-related infrastructure investments over the next decade. The company also closed its second vintage of the global transition flagship fund at $20 billion, the largest private fund ever dedicated to the global energy transition. Management is confident that 2025 will be its best fundraising year ever, with a strong momentum for 2026.

Valuation and Growth Prospects

With a Price-to-Book Ratio (P/B) of 10.1 and a Return on Equity (ROE) of 41.55%, Brookfield's valuation appears to reflect its strong growth prospects. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 15.3%. The company's plan to double its business by 2030, with fee-related earnings reaching $5.8 billion, distributable earnings reaching $5.9 billion, and fee-bearing capital reaching $1.2 trillion, suggests a strong growth trajectory.

Business Segment Performance

The credit business saw an "outsized growth" of almost 15%, with roughly half attributed to organic growth and the other half to the full-quarter impact of an acquisition within the Castlelake business. The private equity business is optimistic about raising a larger fund, focusing on essential assets and services that produce consistent results across the market cycle. The business has delivered over 25% IRRs for 2 decades, with over half of the value creation coming from operational improvement.

Margin Profile and Outlook

The company operates at 58% operating margins, with Oaktree margins depressed but improving. Core margins are rising, but acquisitions have lower margins, mildly diluting overall margin levels. The company expects margins to improve over time, driven by growth initiatives and operating levers. The acquisition of the remaining 26% of Oaktree is expected to close in the first half of 2026, creating a fully integrated leading global credit platform.
