Shares of Blue Owl Capital Inc. (OWL.N) fell sharply today, hitting a 52-week low as the stock dropped by 5.8% to close at $13.77. The decline follows the announcement of blocked redemptions in one of its private credit funds due to a terminated merger, raising significant concerns among investors about potential losses. The cancellation of the merger, which was intended to enhance liquidity, has left many investors anxious, as they may face delays in accessing their funds. Legal investigations into the company for possible violations of federal securities laws further compound the negative sentiment surrounding Blue Owl, prompting calls for investor caution.
