On July 15, Apollo Global Management rose 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $122.955/share, with turnover of $254 million. The stock was buoyed by a confluence of deal-making catalysts spanning aviation, sports, and B2B media sectors.
On the news front, Apollo recently submitted a £5.7 billion ($7.65 billion) all-cash bid for European low-cost carrier EasyJet, outbidding rival Castlelake's offer by approximately 3.6%. EasyJet's board has given the proposal principle-level endorsement, stating the financial terms are at a level it would be minded to recommend to shareholders. Apollo must submit a formal offer by August 7, while Castlelake retains a counter-bid window through August 3, leaving the competitive dynamics unresolved.
Separately, Apollo is reportedly in discussions with the New York Yankees regarding a $3 billion financing agreement. Additionally, Apollo-managed funds completed the acquisitions of Emerald Holding and Questex, creating a scaled B2B experiential events and media platform. These multi-front expansion moves collectively reinforced investor confidence in Apollo's deal-sourcing momentum and capital deployment capabilities.
