What this company does
Blackstone runs the world's largest alternative asset management platform, investing client capital across private equity, real estate, credit, and hedge fund strategies. It earns money primarily through management and advisory fees on assets under management, supplemented by performance allocations (carried interest) when funds exceed return hurdles. Nine-month revenue held flat near $10.1 billion as a sharp rebound in realized performance fees offset weaker unrealized marks, signaling Blackstone is harvesting gains from older vintages while navigating a slower mark-up environment.
Key risks
- Performance fees turned volatile: Q3 2025 unrealized performance allocations swung to -$215.8M from +$1.15B prior year, dragging total revenue down 16% YoY.
- EPS declined to $0.80 in Q3 2025 from $1.02 a year earlier (-22%), with net income to Blackstone falling to $625M despite higher management fees.
- Leverage and affiliate exposure: $12.0B loans payable plus $5.85B due from affiliates against $8.4B stockholders' equity; interest expense up 13% YoY to $380M YTD.
