BlackRock (BLK) shares climbed in premarket trading on Wednesday after the world’s largest asset manager reported second-quarter earnings, revenue and assets under management that exceeded Wall Street expectations.<\/p>\n

The company reported adjusted net income of $2.3 billion for the quarter, up 22% from a year earlier, while assets under management (AUM) rose 22% year over year to a record $15.3 trillion, marking the first time the firm has crossed the $15 trillion milestone.<\/p>\n

Adjusted earnings per share came in at $13.91, well above analysts’ estimates of about $12.65<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Revenue increased 31% from the prior year to $7.1 billion, beating consensus expectations of roughly $6.7 billion.<\/p>\n

BlackRock shares rose 5% in premarket trading following the results.<\/p>\n

Earnings and revenue beat Wall Street expectations<\/h2>\n

BlackRock delivered stronger-than-expected financial results across its key metrics, extending the momentum seen earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Revenue growth was supported by growth across the firm’s investment businesses and contributions from its private markets platform. <\/p>\n

The company also reported adjusted net income of $2.3 billion, reflecting continued growth in profitability.<\/p>\n

Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink said the firm’s operating environment remains favorable.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarket fundamentals are strong and well supported, with higher margins and earnings momentum catalyzed by new technology,\u201d Fink said in a statement. \u201cFlows in the first six months of 2026 more than doubled year-over-year.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201c<\/strong>Our momentum is accelerating, and I\u2019ve never been more optimistic about the growth ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Record inflows push assets above $15 trillion<\/h2>\n

Client inflows remained a major driver of BlackRock’s growth during the quarter.<\/p>\n

The firm attracted $192 billion of net client inflows during the second quarter, while total long-term net inflows reached $199 billion, exceeding the $170 billion average estimate compiled by Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

BlackRock’s exchange-traded fund business accounted for the majority of new client money, bringing in $178 billion of net inflows.<\/p>\n

Actively managed investment strategies also attracted strong demand, with investors adding $53 billion on a net basis.<\/p>\n

For the first half of 2026, BlackRock reported record net inflows of $321 billion.<\/p>\n

The growth lifted total assets under management to $15.3 trillion, up from $13.9 trillion at the end of the first quarter and $12.5 trillion a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Private markets continue driving growth<\/h2>\n

BlackRock also continued expanding its higher-margin private markets and alternatives businesses.<\/p>\n

The company reported 8% growth in organic base fees, marking the eighth consecutive quarter in which organic base fee growth exceeded 5%. <\/p>\n

Performance fees increased by $211 million compared with the prior-year period, primarily due to stronger revenue from alternative investment products.<\/p>\n

Alternative and liquid private assets generated $22 billion of inflows during the quarter, compared with $14.6 billion in the previous quarter.<\/p>\n

Private markets accounted for $15.4 billion of those inflows.<\/p>\n

BlackRock said revenue also benefited from fees associated with its acquisition of HPS Investment Partners, the private credit firm it agreed to acquire for $12 billion in 2025.<\/p>\n

Reflecting confidence in its growth outlook, the company increased its planned share repurchases for 2026 to $2 billion.<\/p>\n
