What Is The Investigation About?
On February 1, 2026, The Financial Times published an article titled “Apollo chief Marc Rowan consulted Epstein on firm’s tax affairs.” The article stated that files released by the U.S. Department of Justice showed that “Epstein requested and received internal Apollo financial documents and emailed, met and called some of the firm’s most senior decision makers on sensitive matters.”
On this news, Apollo’s stock price fell $7.89, or 5.7%, over two consecutive trading days, to close at $126.85 per share on February 3, 2026.
Then, on February 17, 2026, The Financial Times published an article titled, “SEC urged to investigate Apollo over Epstein ties.” The article reported that the American Federation of Teachers and the American Association of University Professors “told the SEC’s enforcement director Margaret Ryan in a letter on Tuesday that they believed Apollo’s communications to investors ‘give an inaccurate and incomplete picture of the firm and its partners’ connections to Epstein.’”
On this news, Apollo’s stock price fell $6.81, or 5.4%, over two consecutive trading days, to close at $118.34 per share on February 19, 2026.
