Did BX Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
Blackstone delivered a standout third quarter for fiscal 2025, with earnings per share of $1.52 clearing the $1.23 consensus estimate by 23.83%, even as revenue of $3.09 billion came in just 0.71% below expectations while still growing 3.0% year-over-year. The headline EPS beat was powered primarily by a surge in Distributable Earnings, which climbed 48% year-over-year to $1.89 billion, reflecting a dramatic acceleration in realized performance allocations that more than doubled to $997.30 million even as unrealized allocations swung to negative $215.82 million. The firm's fee engine also fired on all cylinders, with Fee Related Earnings growing 26% to $1.48 billion and total AUM crossing $1.24 trillion, up 12% year-over-year. Private Equity was the standout segment, posting 68% FRE growth and 106% Distributable Earnings growth, buoyed by 19.3% last-twelve-month appreciation in Infrastructure. Quarterly inflows of $54.20 billion underscored sustained fundraising strength, and analysts currently hold a moderate buy consensus on the stock, with meaningful upside embedded in average price targets.
- Credit & Insurance inflows of $36.0 billion in the quarter drove the largest segment contribution to total inflows
- Private Equity segment FRE grew 68% YoY driven by Infrastructure appreciation of 5.2% in the quarter and 19.3% LTM
- Management and Advisory Fees grew 14% YoY to $2.04 billion on segment basis
- Realized Performance Revenues surged 117% YoY to $745 million
