Total revenue increased 13% year-over-year (YoY) to $5.4 billion, while assets under management rose 18% from the prior year to $12.5 trillion [1].
Despite these positive results, BlackRock's stock experienced a pre-market decline of 1.39%, trading at $1,095.99, following a previous close at $1,111.46. The company maintains strong financial health with an overall score of 2.78 (GOOD) [1].

The company's operating income rose by 12% to $2.1 billion, reflecting strong operational efficiency. BlackRock also reported a record AUM of $12.5 trillion, driven by organic base fee growth and net investment gains [1].
The company's strategic acquisitions and product innovations, such as the recent acquisition of HPS Investment Partners, have bolstered growth.

Looking ahead, BlackRock projects continued organic growth above 5% and aims to maintain a strong dividend tradition with 15 consecutive years of increases and a current yield of 1.88%. Seven analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations upward for the upcoming period, suggesting continued confidence in the company’s growth trajectory [1].
