Brookfield Corp. is experiencing success driven by its rapidly growing investment subsidiary, Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. The subsidiary continues to bolster its financial performance through strategic global acquisitions and its robust credit business. Christopher Ballard, managing director at Check Capital Management Inc., expressed optimism about Brookfield's prospects, stating, 'They have aspects of infrastructure, renewable energy, real estate, data centers...
there's a lot to look at with Brookfield across the board, but we're pleased with their numbers.' Brookfield Corp. recently reported net income attributable to shareholders of US$432 million, equating to a profit of 25 cents U.S. per diluted share for the quarter ending December 31st. Although the company noted a decrease in quarterly revenue compared to the previous year, distributable earnings increased compared to the last three months of 2022. Brookfield shares experienced a boost, rising by approximately two percent in afternoon trading on Thursday.Ballard highlighted that Toronto-based Brookfield's success hinges on the performance of its subsidiaries, particularly Brookfield Asset Management. Brookfield Asset Management, an independent publicly traded company, announced on Wednesday that it raised US$29 billion in the fourth quarter, surpassing expectations. A significant portion of this capital, US$20 billion, originated from its credit business. Ballard lauded these quarterly figures as 'fabulous,' emphasizing that among Brookfield's subsidiaries, its asset management firm consistently delivers the highest return on capital. Therefore, the strong performance reported by Brookfield Asset Management directly benefits Brookfield Corp.'s bottom line. He explained, 'When they also raise these assets, they can sit on them for quite a while before deploying them so they can almost time the growth story for the parent company as a whole, and they’ve been growing 15 to 20 percent annualized now for quite a while.'Ballard further noted that Brookfield Asset Management now manages over US$1 trillion in assets, positioning it as a global leader in investments across infrastructure and various facets of renewable energy worldwide. He also underscored Brookfield's commitment to staying at the forefront of large-scale investments in the global development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The company has ambitious plans to invest over US$20 billion to construct AI infrastructure in France. In addition to its growth endeavors, Brookfield remains dedicated to rewarding shareholders through continued stock buybacks and dividend increases. The company announced a penny increase in its dividend to nine cents U.S. per share. Ballard concluded, expressing confidence in Brookfield's multifaceted approach: 'So, all those aspects are kind of what we’re looking at to make sure that they’re firing on all cylinders, which they really are. You’re going to be hard-pressed to overstate how much of a global leader that Brookfield is across various segments all over the world. They are rapidly growing, and they don’t seem to be stopping anywhere in the near future.
