Demand pull is outrunning the plan for one still-small offering, and the company is visibly re-pointing itself at it
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2021 call → NO我们根据提供的财报电话会议记录,判断管理层是否描述了一个可识别的、目前仍占公司整体业绩较小部分的主动举措,并且同时满足两个条件:(1) 客户响应超出公司准备;(2) 公司正在采取具体措施扩大投入。 在记录中,Doug Ostrover 提到了零售渠道的“core income fund”,并说“Our sales have exceeded over $100 million month. But most of those sales have been in the independent broker/dealer channel. As I mentioned now we are expanding into wire house distribution.” 这表明该产品正在销售,且正在扩大分销渠道。但这是否是“超出准备”?他说“we are reluctant to get ahead of ourselves in terms of predictions”,没有明确说需求超出预期。另外,他提到“we have over 40 professionals focused exclusively on retail and I think by the end of the year, that number will approach 50 professionals.” 这似乎是计划中的扩张,但未明确说是因为需求超出预期而加速。 另一个可能的举措是 Dyal Fund V,但那是主要业务的一部分。 检查条件:是否明确说客户响应超出准备?没有直接说“超出我们准备”或类似表述。只是说销售超过1亿美元/月,但未与计划对比。也没有说公司正在“现在”采取具体步骤扩大投入,只是说正在扩大分销,但那是计划中的。 因此,答案应为NO。

It is explicitly described as “the least interesting business we’re developing” and still a smaller slice of overall results (COVID testing was the dominant revenue driver for the prior two years).
