Blackstone stock holds near $143 after a strong quarter

Blackstone stock is holding near its recent range after second-quarter 2026 earnings of $1.52 a share and $5.04 billion in revenue, with the dividend lifted to $1.29.

Blackstone Inc. (US09259E1082) is trading near $143 after a second-quarter 2026 report that showed $1.52 in earnings per share and $5.04 billion in revenue, both above consensus. The same update also lifted the quarterly dividend to $1.29 a share, giving investors a fresh read on capital returns as the stock stays close to its recent band.

Earnings still set the tone

The latest quarterly figures point to a firm operating backdrop. Revenue rose 35.9% from $3.70 billion in the prior-year quarter, while EPS improved from $0.98 a year earlier to $1.52 in the June 2026 quarter.

Market data in the same session put Blackstone's market cap at $107.60 billion and its price at $143.34, with a 52-week range of $101.73 to $190.09. The gap to the top of that range is still wide, but the stock is well clear of its 52-week low.

What the quarter said

Net margin came in at 21.84% and return on equity reached 23.77% in the latest reported quarter. Analysts are now looking for full-year 2026 EPS of 5.99, which gives a concrete benchmark for how the current quarterly run rate compares with the year ahead.

That mix matters for an alternatives manager because fee-related revenue, performance fees, and carry can move unevenly from quarter to quarter. The latest numbers suggest that Blackstone's earnings power is still being supported by scale rather than by a single line item.

Blackstone funds

Blackstone's listed and private-market platform spans private equity, credit, real estate, and infrastructure, with products ranging from buyout funds to income-oriented vehicles. In this setup, the firm's earnings can benefit from both asset gathering and realized investment gains when markets cooperate.

Stock snapshot

Blackstone stock at $143.34 as of August 26, 2026 leaves the shares below the $190.09 52-week high and above the $101.73 low. The price sits close enough to the upper half of the range to keep earnings execution and dividend policy in focus.
