Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Hit or exceeded the predicted growth inside the window.
The thesis — published November 15, 2025
Blackstone's trend looks to be turning up, and there are signs that lots more people are buying than usual. Fresh news shows a big push in Europe: they hired a top dealmaker and aim to invest $500B over 10 years. Some think the stock could be worth closer to $180. Over the next 3 months, better sale prices on assets and steady investing could help. Risks: how private assets are valued, the pace of new money, and market swings.
Primary drivers
- Trend improving, with lots more people buying the stock than usual now
- Europe expansion: hire a top dealmaker and plan to invest about $500B
- Many investors see fair value nearer $180 than today's trading price
- Easing interest rates can make selling assets and returning cash easier
How it played out
BX: strong rise, but the target was missed
Lyra published BX at $141.44 on November 15, 2025, with 18% expected growth and a $166.90 target. The thesis pointed to an improving trend, unusually heavy buying, a Europe expansion plan tied to about $500B over 10 years, views of fair value nearer $180, and easier asset sales if interest rates eased.
Inside the window, BX rose close to the target but did not reach it. The peak was $165.14 on January 16, 2026, with a 16.8% gain. It never got there. By February 13, 2026, it ended at $129.86. The thesis partially played out, then faded before the close.
What happened during the window
On December 23, 2025, Blackstone announced an agreement to acquire Hamilton Island. On January 29, 2026, Business Insider reported that Blackstone said QTS was the single largest driver of gains in its $1.3 trillion portfolio in 2025.
