| Aug 6, 2026 | mda_quarterly | BlackRock reported strong financial performance for the second quarter of 2026, with total revenue reaching $7.08 billion, up from $5.42 billion in the same period of 2025. Operating income rose to $2.46 billion, reflecting a 34.7% operating margin. The firm’s Assets Under Management (AUM) reached $15.34 trillion, bolstered by organic base fee growth, strong performance in ETFs, and contributions from recent strategic acquisitions. Key growth drivers included the integration of HPS Investment Partners, which added $165 billion in AUM and established an integrated private credit platform, and the acquisition of Preqin, which enhances BlackRock’s Aladdin technology platform by bridging data transparency gaps between public and private markets. Performance fees also saw a significant increase to $305 million, compared to $94 million in the prior-year quarter. The firm maintains a robust liquidity position with $10.49 billion in cash and cash equivalents. While BlackRock faces ongoing legal scrutiny, including an antitrust lawsuit regarding coal supply, management does not currently anticipate a material adverse impact on financial results. Looking ahead, the company continues to focus on scaling its private markets capabilities and leveraging its Aladdin technology to drive subscription-based revenue growth across its global institutional and retail client base. |
| May 6, 2026 | mda_quarterly | BlackRock reported first-quarter 2026 total revenue of $6.7 billion and GAAP operating income of $2.8 billion, reflecting an operating margin expansion to 42.0%. Net income attributable to BlackRock rose to $2.2 billion, with diluted EPS increasing to $14.06. Assets under management (AUM) ended the period at $13.9 trillion, a slight decrease driven by $216 billion in net market depreciation and $50 billion in negative foreign exchange impacts, primarily from a strengthening US dollar. These headwinds were partially offset by $130 billion in net inflows, including $132 billion in long-term ETF inflows led by equity and fixed income products. Strategic growth focused on private markets and technology, highlighted by the acquisition of HPS Investment Partners, which added $165 billion in client AUM, and Preqin, which integrates private markets data into the Aladdin platform. Technology services and subscription revenue grew to $530 million. Financial performance was further bolstered by organic base fee growth and fees from the HPS transaction. Primary risks include the successful integration of HPS, Preqin, and GIP, as well as continued exposure to global equity market volatility and currency fluctuations. |
