Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

BlackRock’s Q3 2026 earnings beat was largely driven by a single hedge‑fund‑style product. Adjusted EPS rose 38% to $15.93, while performance fees jumped to $630 million—about $200 million above estimates—thanks to a surge in liquid alternatives fees from $100 million to $409 million. The company attributed most of the year‑over‑year rise to one hedge fund, and also recorded an $80 million gain on Securitize, a blockchain tokenization firm. Crypto‑related gains from Securitize and Circle also contributed to the results.

    BlackRock reported adjusted earnings per share rose 38% to $15.93 in the third quarter, with performance fees reaching $630 million, $200 million above analyst estimates. The fee surge was largely attributed to a single hedge fund-style product, which BlackRock calls liquid alternatives. Crypto stakes contributed $80 million gain on Securitize and $22 million gain on Circle, stemming from higher valuations. Total net flows reached $205.47B, and assets grew to a record $15.5 trillion.
