CEO
We're seeing this momentum in our financial results. Our second quarter adjusted operating margin was 45.9% – the highest in almost five years. Quarterly operating income grew approximately 40% year-over-year. And our conviction in the growth ahead for BlackRock led us to increase our planned level of 2026 share repurchases to $2 billion.
BlackRock just hit its highest operating margin in nearly five years at 45.9%, with quarterly operating income up 40% year-over-year, prompting the asset manager to hike 2026 buybacks to $2 billion.
