What this company does

AI

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

AI
  • 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.

Top questions investors are asking

AI
  1. 1

    Q3 unrealized performance allocations swung to negative $216M from positive $1.15B year-ago—which strategies drove the reversal, and should we expect further markdowns?

  2. 2

    Retained earnings fell from $808M to $184M while distributions hit $803M this quarter alone—is the current dividend payout sustainable against FRE?

  3. 3

    Management fees grew 15% YoY but total Q3 revenue dropped 16%—what's fundraising velocity in private credit and BREIT given persistent redemption pressure?
