BlackRock is growing private markets fundraising toward $400 billion by 2030. Technology services revenue grew 22% last year, driven by Aladdin and acquisitions. The company keeps winning new accounts and partnerships. Profit margins and cash flow remain solid.
Private credit faces challenges with CEO departures and valuation probes. Competition in key markets like India may slow growth. Software markdowns hint at private market difficulties. These risks could hurt fundraising and revenue growth.
The price is about 24% above our fair value near $817, reflecting roughly 15% revenue growth expected by analysts. Our fair value is 33% below the Street median, so the market prices in strong growth that may be optimistic given current risks.
Breaks if: Further CEO departures or valuation probes in private credit
Breaks if: Private markets fundraising falls below $300 billion by 2030
This is not a price target or investment advice.
A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This investment represents a durable compounder with a focus on stable growth. The current thesis is in a watch state, indicating a need for careful monitoring of performance and sector dynamics.
The valuation suggests that the market expects a durable premium compared to peers, with a slight expectations gap. However, the stock is considered expensive, reflecting a high valuation relative to its industry.
Management has shown strong execution in driving organic fee growth and expanding technology services. However, the earnings quality is fragile, and while recent financial performance has been strong, there is a history of significant misses in the sector.
The thesis hinges on the performance of sector bellwethers like BX, KKR, and APO. If these companies continue to perform well, it could support BlackRock's growth, but any negative guidance from them could pose risks.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Yes, our read has strengthened. The latest earnings beat supports a more favorable outlook. Additionally, BlackRock's expansion into technology services and subscription revenue is expected to drive growth. There are no new threats identified that could weaken this positive view.
