Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Asset Management & Custody Banks is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Management is running behind on a stated commitment.

View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 1% a day.
View RiskBLK’s case rests on expanding private markets fundraising and diversified base-fee growth, supported by recent strong results. Revenue growth slowed to 19% year over year in fiscal third quarter 2026 from 31% previously. Third-quarter non-GAAP earnings beat consensus by 13.7%. BLK trades at 21× P/E versus the 14× peer median, matching its 21× historical multiple. The price reflects less growth than our view forecasts. The risk is management running behind on a stated commitment, alongside reported profits weakly backed by cash. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 18%. Peer multiples imply a price about 26% below where it trades; the thesis is on watch, and this read is provisional.
