BlackRock Inc. stock (US09247X1019) is anchored by a July 15, 2026 quarter that delivered $13.91 in earnings per share and $7.08 billion in revenue, while shares opened at $1,174.17 on August 27, 2026.
The same quarter beat the consensus estimate of $12.69 for EPS by $1.22 and topped revenue forecasts of $6.73 billion by $350 million, giving the latest reported numbers a clear comparison point.
Latest numbers still matter
The quarter's revenue rose 30.6 percent from $5.42 billion in the prior-year period, and the company also reported a net margin of 24.09 percent and return on equity of 14.90 percent. Those figures matter because BlackRock's current valuation is being framed against operating results, not only asset-price sentiment.
MarketBeat data put the stock's market capitalization at $181.84 billion, with a 1-year high of $1,219.94 and a 1-year low of $917.39. The open at $1,174.17 leaves the shares within that range and below the high by $45.77.
Consensus stays constructive
Analyst coverage still points to a bullish setup, with a consensus rating of Buy and an average target price of $1,311.06. That target sits $136.89 above the August 27, 2026 open.
For investors, the key comparison is simple: the company is trading on a quarter that beat both EPS and revenue estimates, while the broader analyst view still implies additional upside from current levels.
What BlackRock sells
BlackRock's business is built around asset management, spanning institutional, intermediary and individual clients through funds, advisory services and investment platforms. That mix helps explain why revenue, margins and assets under management remain the metrics that tend to drive the stock most directly.
