Blackstone Inc. (BX)

Over the past six months, Blackstone's stock (BX) has experienced fluctuations, with a share price of $157.62 as of January 9, 2026, a 4.92% decline from January 13, 2025. Key events include dividend increases to $1.29 per share quarterly, analyst ratings adjustments with an average price target of $179.74, strong Q2 and Q3 2025 earnings reports, investment activities such as acquiring Hamilton Island and Tokyo C-NX, and a stock tumble following a political statement by former President Donald Trump.

Blackstone's business is influenced by economic cycles and investor sentiment rather than traditional seasonality. Demand is tied to fundraising cycles, market conditions, and interest rates. The company benefits from secular trends towards alternative assets. Quarterly earnings and investor calls influence investor interest, and while there isn't explicit monthly seasonality, tools exist to analyze historical stock performance by month.

Blackstone maintains a strong brand reputation as the world's largest alternative asset manager, built on decades of experience. Its reputation is affected by continued growth and performance, expansion in high-growth sectors, resilience in private credit, and political scrutiny on real estate holdings. Former President Donald Trump's proposal to restrict institutional investors from buying residential properties led to a significant drop in Blackstone's stock price, bringing negative attention to the firm's role in the housing market.

Blackstone Inc. has a significant concentration of institutional ownership, with approximately 65.58% of shares held by institutional investors. Major institutional owners include Vanguard Group Inc., BlackRock, Inc., Morgan Stanley, and State Street Corp.
