Ares Management Corp is a good buy right now due to its current price of $142.53, which is below several analyst price targets, including $160 from BofA and $168 from RBC Capital. The company's forward P/E ratio of 23.87 suggests it is reasonably valued for future growth, especially considering its recent revenue growth of 11.27% over the last 20 days. However, the main risk is the recent insider activity where Ares Management sold shares in Savers Value Village, which may raise concerns about its investment strategy.
