Blackstone Leads $400M Private Loan for HVAC Firm Buyout
BX sits 20% above its 52-week low of $101.73.
Summary
Blackstone led a $400 million private loan to back Harvest Partners' acquisition of Integra Testing Services, an HVAC testing firm. The deal adds to Blackstone's growing private credit portfolio, which has seen significant activity this year including a $3 billion Medallia loan and a $1.75 billion data center REIT raise. While the loan size is modest relative to Blackstone's $150 billion market cap, it demonstrates continued deployment in the private credit space amid a broader market slowdown. The transaction follows strong Q2 earnings reported earlier today, where distributable earnings rose 26% to $1.98 billion.
