MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy Blackstone Stock? BX Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. Please send any questions or comments about these Blackstone pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Blackstone
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Blackstone Inc.:

Blackstone Inc. recently reported strong financial performance for the quarter ended July 23, 2026, with earnings per share of $1.52, which exceeded the consensus estimate of $1.34, and revenue of $5.04 billion, significantly surpassing the expected $3.42 billion, indicating robust operational growth and profitability that may attract value-oriented investors.
The company recently increased its quarterly dividend to $1.29 per share, up from the previous $1.16, resulting in an annualized dividend yield of approximately 4.1% based on the current stock price of $119.19, which provides a compelling income stream for investors seeking regular cash flow from their equity holdings.
Wall Street analysts maintain a positive outlook on the stock, with a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" and a consensus price target of $149.43, which suggests potential upside of over 25% from the current trading level, reflecting institutional confidence in the company's future earnings trajectory.
Blackstone Inc. continues to expand its alternative asset management capabilities, recently closing the purchase of a 24.7% stake in Eurowind Energy, which diversifies its portfolio into renewable energy infrastructure and positions the firm to capitalize on growing demand for sustainable investment opportunities.
Institutional investors have shown renewed interest in the stock, with major funds such as Nykredit A S acquiring a new stake valued at approximately $21.08 million in the second quarter, signaling that large-scale capital allocators are recognizing the firm's strategic value and stability in the current market environment.

Blackstone
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Blackstone Inc. for these reasons:

The stock is currently trading at $119.19, which is significantly below its 52-week high of $186.10, indicating a substantial decline in valuation over the past year that may reflect broader market skepticism or specific concerns about the company's recent performance and future growth prospects.
Blackstone Inc. has a high beta of 1.56, meaning the stock is more volatile than the overall market and tends to experience larger price swings in both directions, which can result in higher risk for investors who are sensitive to market fluctuations or have a lower risk tolerance.
Recent insider activity has been predominantly negative, with directors and officers such as Joseph Baratta and David Payne selling significant blocks of shares in August and September 2026, which may signal that company insiders perceive the current stock price as overvalued or are seeking to diversify their personal holdings.
The company's payout ratio is currently 115.44%, indicating that it is paying out more in dividends than it is earning in net income, which could raise concerns about the sustainability of the dividend in the long term if earnings do not continue to grow at a pace that supports such a high distribution level.
Blackstone Inc. faces competitive pressure and potential valuation challenges, as evidenced by the rejection of its improved takeover proposal for IDP Education, which suggests that the firm may be facing difficulties in executing acquisitions at attractive valuations or that its proposed terms are not aligning with target companies' expectations.
