Blue Owl Capital Drops, Bumble Soars, Dollar General Falls as Outlook Disappoints

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Blue Owl Capital (OWL) falls after the asset manager defended its recent sale of $1.4 billion of loans from three of its funds, arguing the transaction contained no backstops or hidden incentives. Blue Owl Co-President Craig Packer said the four institutions that bought the debt did so on an arm’s length basis, conducted their own due diligence, and received no special guarantees.

- Bumble (BMBL) soars after the online dating company forecast Ebitda for the first quarter that beat expectations. JPMorgan upgraded the stock to neutral, while analysts broadly noted that focus now shifts to upcoming product overhaul planned for later in the year. 

- Dollar General shares (DG) fall as the retailer gave underwhelming annual and long-term forecasts. The outlook is “conservative,” with the company seeing lower sales growth than last year, said Jennifer Bartashus, an analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. “The business should be improving based on the strategies they are deploying.”
Shares of the retailer fell as much as 11%. The stock had surged more than 80% in the last 12 months.
