Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 18% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published April 16, 2026
Blackstone looks attractive for the coming quarter because business activity is healthy and recent news lifted sentiment. Reports show private credit is holding up, the share price rose, and talks about a European media move add strategic options and potential fee growth. The main caution is the stock has already moved up a lot, so it looks best on modest pullbacks.
Primary drivers
- Stable private-credit conditions help fees and investor confidence
- Good asset sales and fundraising support near-term earnings
- Insider buying signals management confidence in outlook
- Expansion news creates more growth options beyond core business
