Upturn Advisory & Investor View for BX

09/17/2026: BX (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Blackstone Group Inc is a global leader in alternative asset management, managing over $1 trillion in assets across real estate, private equity, credit, and insurance. The firm benefits from a highly scalable business model, a strong institutional reputation, and growing access to the private wealth market. Its core investment story centers on capturing increased capital allocation from both institutions and individuals into private markets. However, investors must monitor risks related to interest rate sensitivity, regulatory oversight of private funds, and competition for high-quality deal flow. Blackstone remains a suitable consideration for growth-oriented investors looking for exposure to private markets, though dividend volatility should be noted.

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 1.05%.

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 1.05% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 7.02%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.44%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 4.33%
State Street Corp 4.27%
Charles Schwab Investment Management Inc 2.85%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

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.
