Analysis · BLK · Finance
BlackRock delivered a strong third quarter with record AUM of $15.5 trillion, $205 billion of net inflows, and 38% year-over-year growth in adjusted diluted EPS to $15.93. Revenue rose 19% to $7.75 billion, driven by broad-based strength across ETFs, active equities, private markets, and technology services. The company repurchased $550 million of shares and raised its dividend. The only notable drag was a $564 million noncash charge from the fair-value remeasurement of contingent consideration tied to the GIP and HPS acquisitions — a paper loss driven by BlackRock's rising share price, not a cash outflow or new dilution. This is a clean beat across nearly every metric and reinforces BlackRock's position as the dominant global asset manager.
