I first selected Dollarama as a defensive play in my Smith Manoeuvre portfolio against a potential recession. I sold my shares of BlackRock and I reinvested the money into Stella-Jones and CCL Industries. Telus improved its cash flow from operations, free cash flow, and reduced its capital expenditures.
BlackRock's Q2 2025 showed strong revenue and AUM growth, despite an earnings miss, supporting my Buy rating and double-digit growth outlook for the year. Strategic acquisitions of HPS Investment Partners and ElmTree Funds expand BlackRock's private credit and real estate offerings, diversifying revenue streams and boosting long-term margins. I have estimated a price per share of $1,152.12 for BLK and have initiated a Buy rating.
Able to exceed their Q2 earnings expectations on Tuesday, investors may be wondering which of these renowned asset managers is the better investment at the moment.
