Blackstone manages investments and funds on behalf of its clients. It operates through real estate, private equity, credit and insurance, and hedge fund segments. BX recently completed acquisition of a sandwich shop chain, along with investments in consumer-facing coffee and smoothie businesses. The company also acquired a $1 billion infrastructure loan portfolio this month.
In the quarter that ended in September, BX reported a 5.5% year-over-year increase in distributable earnings, to nearly $1.3 billion, or $1.01 per share. That figure surpassed expectations. On the inflow side, BX’s credit and insurance segment brought in $21.4 billion, which was more than half the funds raised across all segments. Also, the company’s credit assets totaled $354.7 billion, with total assets settling at $1.1 trillion.
It’s no wonder BX shares are up 44% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
