Company Report

BlackRock Earnings: Market Gains Make Up for Weaker Inflows as Firm Hits Record Level of AUM

While there was little in BlackRock's first-quarter earnings that would alter our long-term view of the firm, we expect to increase our $830 per-share fair value estimate slightly to account for revised near-term expectations for assets under management, revenue, and profitability since our last update. While the company's shares trade at a hefty premium relative to the other traditional asset managers (which we believe is warranted), they are trading at a nearly 10% discount to our expected fair value estimate.

Price vs Fair Value

BLK is trading at a 8% discount.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Company Profile

BlackRock is the largest asset manager in the world, with $10.008 trillion in assets under management at the end of December 2023. Its product mix is fairly diverse, with 52% of managed assets in equity strategies, 28% in fixed income, 9% in multi-asset classes, 8% in money market funds, and 3% in alternatives. Passive strategies account for around two thirds of long-term AUM, with the company's ETF platform maintaining a leading market share domestically and on a global basis. Product distribution is weighted more toward institutional clients, which by our calculations account for around 80% of AUM. BlackRock is geographically diverse, with clients in more than 100 countries and more than one third of managed assets coming from investors domiciled outside the US and Canada.
