Blackstone Group (BX) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Blackstone Group (BX) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Blackstone has demonstrated a robust financial performance, with net realizations totaling $505 million, which is 34% above the prior four-quarter average, indicating strong demand and effective asset management. The firm maintains a promising outlook for its real estate segment, with potential earnings expansion of 50%-100% anticipated if the cyclical recovery continues, supported by higher peer multiples and an improved revenue performance outlook. Furthermore, the company is well-positioned to leverage a $12 trillion 401K market, which could significantly contribute to growth in the alternatives space, alongside expected 20% year-over-year growth in free cash flow and distributable earnings by 2026.
Bears say
Blackstone reported an all-time high in transaction and advisory fee revenues, yet it anticipates a decline in these revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025, which raises concerns about future earnings consistency. Additionally, the company's forecast of a decrease in fee-related earnings (FRE) margins from 59.3% in the third quarter of 2025 indicates potential pressure on profitability. Moreover, the expected slowdown in management fee growth from the previously achieved 14% further exacerbates concerns regarding the sustainability of Blackstone's financial performance amid a potentially deteriorating operating backdrop and capital markets environment.
