- Hensoldt raised its 2026 revenue outlook to 2.8 billion euros and targets an adjusted EBITDA margin of 19 percent.
- Investors are weighing the industrial holding alongside continued pressure on BlackRock's digital-asset products.
BlackRock's latest investment disclosure adds a new angle for investors beyond the recent focus on digital-asset outflows. A voting-rights announcement published by HENSOLDT on Monday, November 9, said BlackRock crossed the relevant threshold on November 4.
BlackRock's combined position reached 4.93 percent of Hensoldt's voting rights, comprising 3.03 percent attached to shares and 1.90 percent through instruments. The previous notification showed a combined position of 4.80 percent. The filing states that BlackRock held 3,503,963 shares and instruments representing a further 2,164,735 voting rights through securities lending and 29,102 through contracts for difference.
Industrial Exposure Meets Crypto Pressure
The disclosure broadens the investment picture for BlackRock. Hensoldt is a German defence-electronics company whose business momentum has strengthened this year, while BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust has recently faced substantial redemptions.
Hensoldt reported first-nine-month revenue of 1.863 billion euros and adjusted EBITDA of 281 million euros. In its November 5 release, the company said revenue rose 21.3 percent year over year and adjusted EBITDA increased 33.0 percent. Hensoldt raised its 2026 revenue outlook to 2.8 billion euros from 2.75 billion euros previously and refined its adjusted EBITDA margin target to 19 percent.
