Blackstone stock was last at USD 111.74 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026 at 3:59 p.m. ET, down 0.45 percent from the prior close. The next major checkpoint is the company's Q3 2026 earnings date on October 22, 2026, according to MarketBeat.
Q2 results set the benchmark
Blackstone reported adjusted EPS of USD 1.52 for Q2 2026, exceeding the USD 1.34 consensus by USD 0.18, while revenue reached USD 5.04 billion. MarketBeat reported that quarterly revenue was 35.9 percent higher than in the comparable period.
The earnings comparison matters because the latest market consensus for Q3 2026 stands at USD 1.35 per diluted share. That forecast is USD 0.17 below the Q2 adjusted EPS figure, placing execution against a high recent earnings benchmark.
Analyst views remain divided
Wells Fargo began coverage on October 2, 2026, with an Equal Weight rating and a USD 122 price target, according to MarketBeat.
The same MarketBeat report describes a Moderate Buy consensus from 24 analysts, with 13 Buy ratings and 11 Holds. The average 12-month target is USD 148.71, which is 33.08 percent above the October 2 price of USD 111.74.
Stock sits below its yearly high
Blackstone's USD 111.74 price is 34.27 percent below the 52-week high of USD 170.00 and USD 10.01 above the 52-week low of USD 101.73. The October 2 trading volume was 5,689,219 shares, while market capitalization stood at USD 135.0 billion.
The valuation picture therefore combines a recent earnings beat with a share price well below its yearly peak. Blackstone's website describes the firm as managing more than USD 1.3 trillion in assets, spanning alternative investment strategies for institutional and individual investors, as stated on Blackstone.
October 22 is the next test
Blackstone is scheduled to publish Q3 2026 results on October 22, 2026, before the market opens, with a consensus EPS estimate of USD 1.35. The report will show whether the company can extend the Q2 adjusted EPS performance of USD 1.52.
