BlackRock shares moved higher after the asset manager reported a record $14 trillion in assets under management and strong net inflows, signaling robust client demand despite a drop in GAAP earnings caused largely by acquisition-related and other noncash charges. Analysts responded by fine-tuning their views: many highlighted that revenue and organic fee growth beat forecasts and pointed to BlackRock’s push into AI infrastructure and private markets, including big fundraising efforts and a partnership with Microsoft, as potential long-term growth drivers. Some brokers, however, remained cautious, citing the stock’s rich valuation, limited near-term catalysts, and cost-cutting steps such as layoffs, even as the company maintains shareholder-friendly moves like dividend increases and share buybacks.
