BlackRock's Managed Assets Reach $14 Trillion

One of the leading names in the finance world, BlackRock, has announced its fourth-quarter results for the 2025 fiscal year. As of this quarter, the company's managed assets have reached a record level of $14 trillion. With this achievement, BlackRock has once again managed to attract the attention of investors.

Financial Results and Growth

BlackRock's fourth-quarter revenue increased to $7.01 billion, representing a 23% year-over-year growth. This figure surpassed the market expectation of $6.69 billion, elevating the company's performance to higher levels. Furthermore, adjusted operating income rose by 22% to $2.85 billion, and adjusted earnings per share increased by 10% to $13.16, marking a result above analyst estimates.

Notable Revenue Streams

Investment advisory, management fees, and securities lending revenues rose to approximately $5.28 billion compared to the previous year. This increase was supported by a 12% year-over-year annualized organic base fee growth and a $230 million contribution from the HPS transaction. Securities lending revenues reached a total of $174 million.

Technology and Alternative Revenues

Thanks to the high demand for Aladdin products and contributions from the Preqin acquisition that took place in March 2025, BlackRock has increased its technology services and subscription revenues to $531 million. Preqin's contribution of $65 million in the fourth quarter played a significant role. The 31% increase in annual contract value once again highlights the market's confidence in BlackRock.

Capital Strategies and Future Vision

In 2025, BlackRock achieved a net inflow of $698 billion. Additionally, the company conducted $1.6 billion in stock buybacks throughout the year and increased its quarterly dividend per share by 10% to $5.73.

CEO Laurence Fink stated that 2026 will be the first full year for the combined platform of GIP, HPS, and Preqin. Fink also added that they aim to raise $400 billion in private markets by 2030, emphasizing that BlackRock is positioned as a leader in some of the industry's largest new growth areas.
