Blackstone (BX) shares are now at the seventh day of an ongoing losing streak, accumulating total losses of -9.3% during this timeframe. The recent sell off follows the company's mixed Q3 2025 earnings.
The biggest minds in finance weighed in on AI, investing and the U.S. economy at a Saudi Arabia conference on Tuesday.
Blackstone, the world's largest alternative asset manager, just passed $1.2 trillion in AUM. Q3 earnings were a beat as distributable earnings rose 48%, and fee-related earnings grew 26%. Recent regulation changes allow Blackstone to sell private funds into the $12 trillion retirement market, such as 401(k) allocations.
The value of expected initial public offerings for the firm's portfolio companies over the next 12 months is among the highest in its history
The headline numbers for Blackstone Inc. (BX) give insight into how the company performed in the quarter ended September 2025, but it may be worthwhile to compare some of its key metrics to Wall Street estimates and the year-ago actuals.
Blackstone's Q3 earnings jump 50% year over year, beating estimates as record-high AUM and solid inflows powered results.
Blackstone Inc. (BX) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.52 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.21 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.01 per share a year ago.
Blackstone Inc. (BX) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Blackstone is rated Sell due to an unsustainable valuation and elevated downside risk amid recession fears. BX's dividend yield is historically low and unattractive compared to risk-free Treasury rates, offering limited income protection. Valuation metrics, including 16x book value and 35x cash income, signal extreme overvaluation with little margin of safety.
BX's premium valuation raises caution, but record AUM, strong inflows and strategic growth can justify the price.
