BlackRock stock rises on $7.08 billion quarter and $15.34 trillion AUM

BlackRock stock is drawing attention after second-quarter revenue of $7.08 billion and assets under management of $15.34 trillion, while the shares traded at a $179.52 billion market value on August 20, 2026.

BlackRock Inc. (US09247X1019) is drawing investor attention after second-quarter revenue of $7.08 billion and adjusted EPS of $13.91, while assets under management reached $15.34 trillion at the end of June 2026. The shares traded at $1,159.16 on August 20, 2026, with a market capitalization of $179.52 billion.

Quarterly numbers stay large

Second-quarter revenue rose 30.6% year over year from $5.42 billion to $7.08 billion, and EPS increased from $12.05 in the same period last year to $13.91. The same quarter also produced a net margin of 24.09% and return on equity of 14.90%, which keeps the operating picture firmly in focus.

Adjusted operating income increased to $2.92 billion from $2.05 billion a year earlier, while adjusted operating margin widened from 43.3% to 45.9%. That combination gives the latest quarter a more visible quality-of-earnings angle than a simple top-line beat.

Flow and scale matter

Assets under management of $15.34 trillion at June 30, 2026, put BlackRock in a different league from most asset managers, and the figure also frames how quickly fee-related growth can compound. In the latest market snapshot, the stock was up 0.40% on the session and last traded at $1,158.92 in the quoted close view, while another intraday snapshot showed $1,152.32 and a year-to-date gain of 8.12%.

The average target price in the consensus view stood at $1,315.81, versus a last close price of $1,158.92. That gap is one reason the stock still trades with room for debate after the quarter.

iShares still anchors the franchise

For retail and institutional investors alike, the iShares lineup remains the most visible part of BlackRock's business model. The range of listed funds and index products is the practical bridge between the firm's $15.34 trillion asset base and its fee income.

Shares and valuation

At $1,159.16, BlackRock shares were priced at a market capitalization of $179.52 billion on August 20, 2026. The stock's quote also showed a P/E ratio of 27.70, which matters because the current earnings power already reflects a demanding valuation base.
