BlackRock reported third‑quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $15.93 per share, beating consensus by $1.63, and revenue of $7.75 bn, up 19% YoY. Net profit rose 26% to $1.66 bn and assets under management reached a record $15.49 tn, driven by $134.5 bn of new iShares ETF flows and $15.31 bn of private‑credit inflows. The firm also announced a $2.8 bn joint‑venture acquisition with Humana’s HPS Investment Partners.
Why it matters
The earnings beat and record inflows suggest higher fee revenue and margin expansion, which could support continued dividend growth and share‑buyback capacity (as noted in the earnings release). Analysts at TD Cowen raised their price target on the beat.
