The company recently reported that it has 9.82 million shares sold short, which is 3.69% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.75 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Carlyle Group has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Carlyle Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.69%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h2>Unveiling the Story Behind Carlyle Group</h2>
The Carlyle Group is one of the world's largest alternative-asset managers, with $447.4 billion in total AUM, including $313.6 billion in fee-earning AUM, at the end of September 2024. The company has three core business segments: private equity, which includes private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources funds (accounting for 33% of fee-earning AUM and 57% of base management fees during 2023), global credit (51% and 27%) and investment solutions (16% and 16%). The firm primarily serves institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals. Carlyle operates through 29 offices across five continents, serving more than 2,900 active carry fund investors from 88 countries.
<h3>Carlyle Group's Financial Performance</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company's market capitalization is below the industry average, suggesting that it is relatively smaller compared to peers. This could be due to various factors, including perceived growth potential or operational scale.
Revenue Growth: Carlyle Group's remarkable performance in 3M is evident. As of 31 March, 2025, the company achieved an impressive revenue growth rate of 11.31%. 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 standards, pointing towards difficulties in achieving strong profitability. With a net margin of 19.5%, the company may encounter challenges in effective cost control.
Return on Equity (ROE): Carlyle Group's ROE lags behind industry averages, suggesting challenges in maximizing returns on equity capital. With an ROE of 2.32%, the company may face hurdles in achieving optimal financial performance.
Return on Assets (ROA): Carlyle Group's ROA is below industry averages, indicating potential challenges in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of 0.55%, the company may face hurdles in achieving optimal financial returns.
Debt Management: Carlyle Group's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 1.88. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Is Carlyle Group Gaining or Losing Market Support?

Stockholders that have previously tendered their shares must re-tender their shares
Stockholders may elect to receive either $3.00 per share plus CVR of $6.84 per share in cash payable upon achievement of a net sales milestone or $5.00 per share with no CVR
As previously announced on May 14, 2025, Carlyle (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NASDAQ">CG</a>) ("Carlyle"), SK Capital Partners, LP ("SK Capital") and bluebird bio, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLUE#NASDAQ">BLUE</a>) ("bluebird"), have amended their definitive agreement pursuant to which Carlyle and SK Capital will purchase all of the outstanding shares of bluebird. The parties have issued the following updated instructions for stockholders to tender their shares into the offer.
Updated Instructions for Stockholders:
<ul>
<li>Contrary to prior instructions, stockholders that have previously tendered their shares must re-tender their shares and complete and sign the letter of election and transmittal attached to the Offer to Purchase. Detailed instructions are available in the Offer to Purchase.</li>
<li>Previously tendered shares will not be valid unless they are re-tendered with an election. If stockholders that previously tendered do not take action, it will have the same effect as withdrawing previously tendered shares from the offer.</li>
<li>Stockholders that hold shares of bluebird through a broker or other nominee may be subject to a processing cutoff that is prior to the tender deadline, so it is important to act now.</li>
<li>Stockholders who need assistance with tendering their shares of bluebird may contact the Information Agent, Innisfree M&amp;A Incorporated, by calling toll-free at (877) 825-8793.</li>
</ul>
Details on Amended Agreement:
Under the terms of the amended agreement bluebird stockholders can elect to receive either (x) the original offer of $3.00 per share in cash plus a contingent value right ("CVR") of $6.84 per share in cash payable upon achievement of a net sales milestone or (y) $5.00 per share in cash. The amended offer price provides an alternative for stockholders who would prefer greater upfront cash consideration instead of the potential upside of the CVR. Any shares tendered for which no election is made will receive the original consideration of $3.00 per share in cash plus a CVR per share.
The bluebird board of directors unanimously approved the amended agreement and recommends that all stockholders immediately tender their shares in support of the transaction. The bluebird board of directors continues to believe that the transaction with Carlyle and SK Capital, as amended, represents the only viable option for stockholders to receive consideration for their shares. Absent a majority of stockholders tendering, bluebird is at significant risk of defaulting on its loan agreements with Hercules Capital, and it is extremely unlikely that stockholders would receive any consideration for their shares in a bankruptcy or liquidation.
As previously announced on May 5, 2025, Carlyle and SK Capital have received all required regulatory approvals to complete the transaction, and all parties expect the transaction to be consummated promptly following the successful completion of the ongoing tender offer, which expires one minute after 11:59 p.m. New York City time on May 29, 2025.

Carlyle And SK Capital Amend Agreement To Acquire bluebird bio, Update Tender Offer Instructions For Stockholders

"Stay buckled. It's just a question of whether the airbags come out now,"&nbsp; Carlyle Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NASDAQ">CG</a>) chief Harvey Schwartz told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-04-17/bloomberg-open-interest-04-17-2025-video">Bloomberg</a> in an interview on April 17. While tariffs have turned&nbsp; jetliners around mid-air and slowed parcel traffic, Schwartz insists the real hazard is the uncertainty most observers cannot see.
His warning landed as the U.S. and China traded blows that lifted some levies to 145% and stretched supply chains well beyond breaking points for some manufacturers.

The trade scuffle's first casualty was aviation. Reuters reported that a<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/boeing-jet-returns-us-china-victim-trumps-tariff-war-2025-04-20/"> $55 million Boeing 737 MAX</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) painted for Xiamen Airlines left Renton, Washington, on April 18 but returned to Seattle the next evening after a 125% duty made the deal financially unviable for the Chinese carrier.
On April 20, <a href="https://www.dhl.com/discover/en-sg/news/important-announcement-shipping-to-us">DHL said</a> it would halt business-to-consumer shipments over $800 to the U.S. due to new customs rules, effective April 21. Delays hit lower-value parcels too. After discussions with U.S. authorities,<a href="https://www.dhl.com/us-en/home/important-information/2025/shipments-to-the-united-states-with-a-customs-value-exceeding-usd-800.html"> DHL resumed shipments </a>soon after, following adjustments that eased processing of higher-value entries.
Policymakers see the stress, too. On April 22, the <a href="https://mediacenter.imf.org/news/imf-world-economic-outlook-presser/s/33be8aaf-2578-4d8f-a8fd-ae7f5516ad3f">International Monetary Fund</a> released its updated World Economic Outlook, lowering its 2025 global growth forecast to 2.8%—a 0.5 percentage point decrease from January.

IMF Chief Economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXT-vsT1qxo">said</a> global trade growth could be "more than halved" to 1.7% in 2025 if tariffs persist. He also said the U.S. growth forecast was trimmed to 1.8%, citing heightened uncertainty.
History shows why the C-suite are skittish. The tariff volley that began in 2018 lopped roughly <a href="https://ers.usda.gov/sites/default/files/_laserfiche/publications/102980/ERR-304.pdf?v=13480#:~:text=From%20mid%2D2018%20to%20the,occurring%20for%20exports%20to%20China.">$1.7 billion </a>off U.S. quarterly farm exports within months—a reminder of how friction can slice revenue.&nbsp;

In a separate <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC5_6RHwc-U">Bloomberg</a> interview, Schwartz emphasized that while a recession is &#8220;certainly on the table,&#8221; it&#8217;s premature to make a definitive judgment. He highlighted that the primary concern isn&#8217;t just the tariffs themselves but the pervasive uncertainty they introduce, which stalls decision-making and chills economic activity.&nbsp;
Schwartz said that CEOs are shifting from growth strategies to contingency planning amid the volatility.&nbsp;
He stressed the importance of the U.S. and China finding a cooperative equilibrium to stabilize global trade, warning that prolonged tensions could have far-reaching implications beyond immediate market disruptions.

Carlyle CEO Harvey Schwartz Says 'Stay Buckled' Amid Market Turmoil – 'It's Just A Question Of Whether The Airbags Come Out

In the current session, the stock is trading at $45.97, after a 0.77% spike. Over the past month, Carlyle Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NASDAQ">CG</a>) stock increased by 24.34%, and in the past year, by 4.33%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Carlyle Group P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Carlyle Group has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 34.59 of the Capital Markets industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
