BlackRock stock (ISIN US09290D1019) drew a higher UBS target of USD 1,300.00 from USD 1,277.00 on October 15, 2026, while the asset manager's third-quarter revenue reached USD 7.752 billion. Benzinga listed the UBS action as a Buy rating and target increase.
Results reset the earnings baseline
BlackRock reported the three months ended September 30, 2026, with GAAP net income attributable to BlackRock of USD 1.659 billion and GAAP diluted earnings per share of USD 10.57. Adjusted diluted earnings per share reached USD 15.93, compared with USD 11.55 in the year-earlier quarter.
The earnings release showed USD 205.466 billion in total third-quarter net flows and USD 15.488 trillion in assets under management at September 30, 2026. That combination matters because management fees depend heavily on the scale of client assets and the direction of new money.
Three dates track the rerating
On October 8, 2026, Wells Fargo cut its target from USD 1,245.00 to USD 1,230.00, and on October 13, 2026, Morgan Stanley lowered its target from USD 1,479.00 to USD 1,468.00, according to Benzinga. BlackRock then reported its third-quarter results on October 14, 2026, including the USD 205.466 billion inflow figure, according to the company release.
What supports the valuation?
The operating picture includes a 47.80 percent adjusted operating margin in the third quarter of 2026, up from 44.60 percent in the year-earlier quarter. The comparison points to stronger earnings conversion, although the stock remains exposed to market valuations, client flows and fee pressure across asset-management products.
Next reporting date
The next scheduled reporting date is January 14, 2027, according to Public. Until then, the quarterly flow mix and the ability to expand higher-fee private-market and technology businesses remain central measures for the earnings outlook.
