Blackstone Shares Rise 0.22% as Trading Volume Surges 30.48% to Rank 220 in Daily Activity

On August 28, 2025, Blackstone (BX) traded with a 0.22% increase in share price, while its trading volume reached $0.46 billion, a 30.48% rise from the previous day. This positioned the stock at rank 220 in terms of daily trading activity.

Blackstone’s assets under management (AUM) have surged to $1.2 trillion, a 13% annual increase, with fee-earning AUM growing 10%. The firm’s 47% allocation to perpetual capital enhances long-term cash flow predictability, while $180 billion in dry powder positions it to capitalize on opportunities in distressed real estate, private credit, and infrastructure. Diversification across private equity, real estate, and credit businesses—particularly in high-growth sectors like renewable energy and AI-driven infrastructure—supports its competitive edge.

Financially, Blackstone reported $3.07 billion in quarterly revenue and $1.57 billion in net income, exceeding analyst expectations. A 42.5% year-over-year revenue growth and a 21.2% profit margin highlight its scale advantages. However, its forward P/E ratio of 34.6x—more than double its historical average—raises concerns about stretched valuations. A dividend yield of 2.48% and a payout ratio exceeding 109% further indicate reliance on performance fees for sustainability.

Strategic tailwinds include expanding retail access to alternatives, regulatory shifts enabling 401(k) allocations to private markets, and growing insurance partnerships in private credit. These factors align with Blackstone’s long-term growth targets. Analysts project $6.51 in 2026 EPS, a 30% increase from 2025, with revenue expected to reach $16.1 billion. However, risks such as rising Treasury yields, intensifying competition, and geopolitical uncertainties in Asia could pressure valuations.
