Blackstone Group (BX) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Blackstone Group (BX) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Blackstone is viewed positively because its scale across private equity, real estate, credit and insurance, and other alternatives supports durable fee growth, while $961.6 billion of fee-earning AUM and $1.346 trillion of total AUM provide a large base for compounding earnings. The outlook is further strengthened by management’s expectation for a meaningful pickup in realizations in 4Q26 and double-digit base management fee growth in 2027, alongside a 3Q26 core EPS beat of $1.32 and robust fundraising in wealth, infrastructure, and flagship private equity. Investor confidence is also supported by Blackstone’s leading AI and data center platform, which is expected to lease approximately 6 GW in 2026, and by its resilient global distribution through 25 offices.
Bears say
Blackstone is facing a negative outlook because its earnings remain highly exposed to volatile capital markets, interest rates, and credit spreads, which can quickly pressure portfolio marks and stock sentiment. Management fees missed consensus in 2Q, BREIT has seen redemption limits triggered in recent quarters, and elevated retail redemptions in BCRED are weighing on credit/insurance while recent drawdown funds have not yet fully converted into fee-paying assets. Although fee-earning AUM reached $961.6 billion out of $1.346 trillion in total AUM at the end of June 2026, the firm’s 3.2% negative mark across opportunistic real estate and the risk of softer 3Q realizations reinforce near-term downside risk.
