flag Blue Owl Capital halted redemptions and sold $1.4B in assets, spurring stock drops and sector-wide concerns over private credit stability.

flag Blue Owl Capital suspended quarterly redemptions for its OBDC II retail private credit fund and sold $1.4 billion in assets to return capital to investors, triggering a sharp decline in its stock and broader sector losses. flag The move, driven by overwhelming redemption requests and liquidity pressures, especially in its tech-focused fund, replaced future redemptions with periodic distributions funded by asset sales and loan repayments. flag The loans were sold at 99.7% of par value, which the firm said reflected confidence in asset quality, though analysts noted the lack of a premium amid falling interest rates. flag The action raised concerns about stability in the private credit market, with shares of Ares, Blackstone, Apollo, and other major firms also dropping amid growing scrutiny over lending practices, valuations, and liquidity risks.
