The EPS beat combined with strong FRE growth, accelerating buybacks, and the $40B Just Group mandate (adding ~$100M annual fees) are all positive catalysts. The stock has historically responded well to earnings beats (80% win rate at T+20). Watch for continued fundraising momentum in the infrastructure and private equity flagships, which management expects to be the largest vintages ever.
