The company has three core business segments: private equity, which includes private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources funds (accounting for 34% of fee-earning AUM and 58% of base management fees during 2023), global credit (51% and 27%) and investment solutions (15% and 15%).

Carlyle operates through 29 offices across five continents, serving more than 2,900 active carry fund investors from 88 countries.
<h3>A Deep Dive into Carlyle Group's Financials</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization reflects a smaller scale relative to peers. This could be attributed to factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.
Revenue Growth: Carlyle Group's remarkable performance in 3 months is evident. As of 30 June, 2024, the company achieved an impressive revenue growth rate of 68.82%. This signifies a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company stands out with a growth rate higher than the average among peers in the Financials sector.
Net Margin: Carlyle Group's net margin is below industry averages, indicating potential challenges in maintaining strong profitability. With a net margin of 20.08%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): Carlyle Group's ROE lags behind industry averages, suggesting challenges in maximizing returns on equity capital. With an ROE of 2.93%, the company may face hurdles in achieving optimal financial performance.
Return on Assets (ROA): The company's ROA is below industry benchmarks, signaling potential difficulties in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of 0.69%, the company may need to address challenges in generating satisfactory returns from its assets.
Debt Management: Carlyle Group's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 2.1. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Benzinga tracks 150 analyst firms and reports on their stock expectations. Analysts typically arrive at their conclusions by predicting how much money a company will make in the future, usually the upcoming five years, and how risky or predictable that company's revenue streams are.
Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

'Carlyle Nears Sale Of Sedgwick Stake To Altas; Deal Could Value Claims Administrator At $13B; Carlyle Bought Majority Of Sedgwick For $6.7B In 2018' - Bloomberg News

The National Football League (NFL) will soon allow private equity companies the opportunity to invest in teams, which could break records for team sales in the future and create competition for billionaires such as Jeff Bezos, who could be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/08/40495264/jeff-bezos-has-no-plans-to-buy-nbas-boston-celtics-could-nfl-team-ownership-still-be-in-the-cards">eyeing a team purchase.</a>
What Happened: NFL owners approved a measure to allow private equity minority stakes in teams, which the league previously discussed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/05/38710804/nfl-rule-could-open-door-for-big-money-investors-will-your-team-go-up-for-sale">earlier this year</a>.
The new approval marks a key change to the league, which previously allowed teams to have limited partners with minority stakes but no investments from institutional investors.
Private equity funds that have league approval can invest in up to 10% ownership of teams. Each fund can hold ownership stakes in up to six NFL franchises. Teams can sell multiple stakes to different funds, but each investment has to be at least 3% and total private equity investment can not be more than 10% of the team, as <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-owners-vote-to-allow-private-equity-funds-to-buy-stakes-in-teams">reported </a>by NFL.com.
The initial approved private equity funds are Arctos Partners, Ares Management Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARES#NYSE">ARES</a>), Sixth Street and a consortium group that includes Blackstone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>), Carlyle Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NYSE">CG</a>), CVC, Dynasty Equity and Ludis.
While additional private equity funds could be approved, the new league change does not include the ability for investment from sovereign wealth funds or pension funds.
Private equity funds will be required to hold onto their investment for six years before being able to sell their stake. Each NFL team will also have to have a controlling owner who has at least 30% ownership of the team. Each team also can have no more than 25 total owners.
The news comes ahead of the 2024 NFL season and could be bad news for billionaires looking to buy NFL teams as they go up for sale in the coming months or years.
The Washington Commanders set a North American sports franchise-record with a $6.1 billion sale valuation in 2023. Among the reported interested parties in the team was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/23/04/31790615/jeff-bezos-passing-on-commanders-ownership-could-he-be-eying-a-different-nfl-team">Amazon founder Jeff Bezos</a>.
As Benzinga previously reported, Bezos could now have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/07/39621460/jeff-bezos-to-sell-5-billion-in-amazon-shares-could-he-be-raising-cash-for-seattle-seahawks-purcha">his eyes set on the Seattle Seahawks next,</a> a team that will be up for sale soon as part of the instructions from former team owner Paul Allen before his death in 2018.
When the Seahawks come up for sale, Bezos could face a bidding war with private equity investors or the possibility that he can't buy 100% of the team outright. The new rules will mean there are more investors who have the capital to buy a team stake.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell noted "This won't change a thing. This is 10% of a team. All it is is a silent position that would allow access to capital for those teams that wish to offer 10% of their team."

</ul>
Why It's Important: Sports team ownership has been a lucrative business for many over the years with team valuations soaring thanks to new media rights deals and the growth of streaming companies wanting a piece of live sports.
Team valuations for NFL teams range from $4.71 billion (Cincinnati Bengals) to $10.32 billion (Dallas Cowboys), according to a <a href="https://www.sportico.com/feature/nfl-team-values-ranking-list-1234684165/">Sportico </a>report. The league passed the approval with a 31-1 vote with the Bengals the only team voting against the measure.
Sports fans have a limited number of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/public-sports-teams"> public sports teams </a>in which to invest. The new change could give investors more opportunities to invest in private equity teams that own stakes in teams. 
While this won't give fans a meaningful stake or a vote on team matters and player transactions, it could create more connection with fans and more investment opportunities.
The NFL decision change could come as it allows team owners the ability to bring in capital from their ownership stake that can be used for team or stadium improvements.

<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.

<h3>Comparing Carlyle Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Carlyle Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.09%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
