BlackRock Inc. (ISIN US09247X1019) stock traded at $1,121.85 on September 8, 2026, with a market capitalization of $171.05 billion and a 52-week range of $917.39 to $1,219.94. The share price sat above the prior close only slightly, while the wider setup kept attention on the latest earnings and analyst targets.

July 15 beat still matters

MarketBeat said BlackRock last issued earnings results on Wednesday, July 15, and reported $13.91 in earnings per share on revenue of $7.08 billion. Revenue rose 30.6 percent year over year, and EPS topped the $12.69 consensus by $1.22.

That combination leaves the company with a net margin of 24.09 percent and return on equity of 14.90 percent in the same report. For investors, the margin profile is the key figure because it shows how much of the revenue surge reached the bottom line.

Consensus stays constructive

MarketBeat also showed a Moderate Buy consensus and an average price target of $1,311.06 for BlackRock. Against the September 8 quote of $1,121.85, that target implies room above the current trading level, even after the stock had already advanced to the upper part of its 52-week band.

The market backdrop is not only about the headline price. With a 52-week low of $917.39 and a high of $1,219.94, the stock trades closer to the top than the bottom of that range, which is the chart detail that now matters most.

Dividend and cash flow

MarketBeat also noted a quarterly dividend of $5.73 per share, equal to $22.92 annualized and a yield of 2.0 percent, with stockholders of record on September 8, 2026 and payment due on September 22, 2026. The same update said BlackRock had revenue of $7.08 billion in the quarter, which is the freshest operating anchor in the available set.

ETF engine

BlackRock's fund and ETF franchise remains the core product engine behind those numbers. The July quarter figures showed how that mix can translate into revenue, earnings and margin at the same time, which is why the product line matters more than any generic asset-management label.

Stock near the top of range

BlackRock stock last traded at $1,121.85 on September 8, 2026, with market value at $171.05 billion and a 52-week span from $917.39 to $1,219.94. The move keeps the shares near the upper part of the band while the July 15 numbers and the $1,311.06 consensus target continue to frame the next step.
