Upturn Advisory & Investor View for BX

10/16/2026: BX (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Blackstone Group Inc is a leading global alternative asset manager, providing a range of investment products across private equity, real estate, and credit. The company has a leading position in the industry, benefiting from a high-margin, fee-based business model and a significant, recurring income stream. Its primary growth opportunity lies in capturing increased allocations from retail wealth investors and further expansion into private credit. However, the firm faces risks related to market volatility, interest rate fluctuations affecting its real estate portfolio, and intense competition. Blackstone is best suited for long-term investors seeking exposure to alternative assets, and investors should monitor capital deployment activity and regulatory developments.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
BX receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
BX has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+8.7%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 12.6%) are partially offset by modest insider ownership of 1.04%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
BX's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.7B (12.6% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is BX's strongest growth driver at +21.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while free-cash-flow growth (-49.0%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 73.7% and approximately 99.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.04% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
BX generates approximately $860 of gross profit, $519 of operating income, and $126 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 15.69%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
BX has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
