Blackstone shares jump 8% on strong third-quarter results

The move

Blackstone shares rose about 8.4% on Oct. 22 after the firm reported third-quarter distributable earnings of $1.7 billion, or $1.32 a share, above the $1.29 analysts expected, with total assets under management reaching a record $1.4 trillion, up 10% from a year earlier.

Why it matters

The jump shows investors rewarding Blackstone's fee income and profitability even as some rivals in private markets face slower dealmaking.

The bear case

Revenue of $3.06 billion came in below the $3.35 billion analysts expected, so not every part of the quarter beat forecasts.

What to watch

Blackstone's next dividend payment, declared at $1.12 a share for holders of record on Nov. 2, 2026.

Blackstone shares rise on record assets under management

The move

Blackstone said Thursday that its net profit fell from a year earlier, but assets under management hit a record $1.35 trillion, up 11%, and distributable earnings reached $1.52 a share, which funds its dividend. Shares rose as much as 4% in early trading.

Why it matters

The results showed Blackstone's fundraising machine still working even as some rivals have struggled, with inflows exceeding $260 billion over the past year.

The bear case

Fee-related earnings growth of 22% is strong, but much of the AUM gain reflects market appreciation and new commitments rather than realized returns paid out to investors.

What to watch

Whether Blackstone's promised pickup in asset sales materializes in the fourth quarter.

Blackstone sells $9.8M more of its Bumble stake

The move

Blackstone entities tied to Stephen Schwarzman sold 2.76 million Class A shares of Bumble on Oct 13, 2026 for about $9.8 million, at $3.54 a share, under a trading plan the firm adopted in November 2025, according to a Form 4 filing. Blackstone's remaining holdings across its various Bumble entities ranged from about 13,700 to 6.97 million shares after the sale.

Why it matters

The sale continues Blackstone's gradual reduction of its Bumble stake, a dating-app investment whose stock sits far below its IPO price.

The bear case

The sale was made under a trading plan set up nearly a year ago, not a fresh decision, and Blackstone still holds a sizeable position.

What to watch

Bumble's next quarterly results for signs of a turnaround.
