Blackrock Inc. (BLK-N)

Is up 54% this year. Revenues are up 15% YOY, and their Q3 beat earnings while management and services businesses saw a rise in inflows. They still have more room to run.

They report next Friday. Is up 15% this year and trades at 22x forward PE. Q2 in-flows are solid at $51 billion. They have $10.6 trillion AUM. Trades at a premium, but boast solid margins.

Blackrock's margins are nearly double Invesco's, though their multiple is higher (it's worth it)

He bought more Blackrock. Commodities, stocks and bonds are doing well, and the economy is strong. Blackrock will make money as asset prices rises. The stock has languished in recent months, but that sets it up to rise.

A good business. Just made a huge buy of a private equity company which fills a hole at BLK. BLK lags peers like Blackstone and KKR, so there's catch-up to come. Long term they will grow 3-5% organically. Interest rates falling will help. Is very undervalued now.

BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation provides middle-market companies with flexible financing solutions, including senior and junior secured, unsecured and subordinated debt securities and loans, and equity securities. Its strategy is to provide capital to meet current and future needs across this spectrum, creating long-term partnerships with growing middle-market companies. BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation is organized as an externally-managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company and has elected to be regulated as a Business Development Company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Its investment advisor is BlackRock Advisors LLC, a registered investment adviser. This page also adds some information. It is significantly small ($281M) and other than the investment advisor agreement we see no direct connection to BLK. BKCC pays a high yield (10%+) and has been consistently profitable (with high variability) for 10 years. Little growth is expected in the next two years. Two analysts cover it (one HOLD, one SELL, avg. target $3.50). It has a history of missing estimates.  The $3.88 stock was more than $16 15 years ago, and it has not created shareholder value other than the dividend, which has been lowered three times in the past five years. Not much impresses us here.

Simple: they make money on fees through assets-under-management. Expects in 2024 a strong financial market, so earnings will rise.

Are benefiting as money migrates into bonds and ETFs. But let's see how they do Friday when they report.

The largest investment management company in the world. This could come under pressure, because these large firms could face more competition, because such firms can't get any bigger. You're better off with a smaller such company.

Has a great CEO, board and technology. Why isn't the stock higher?

In complete opposite to ARKK, BLK is highly diversified which lowers your risk and protects your capital.

It is down because of commercial real estate but this makes up only a small part of the company. It is unstoppable and has an annuity type of cash flow that just keeps going. He sees rising cash flow and a rising dividend. It has 5 to 6 trillion dollars in assets.

Asset managers have not been a good place to be lately. Trades at a not cheap multiple but growth is 14%. There are better places, but a great long-term company. Can buy now.

It's breaking out of all its moving averages. Blackrock is a giant among asset managers.

Largest investment manager in the world.
