The recent period has revealed a multitude of happenings for BlackRock BLK. BlackRock CEO, Laurence Fink, sold a large number of shares, but the company remains a solid choice for investors due to its steady dividends. Despite recent falls in BLK stock, it's been reported that it outperforms broader markets. The company also announced a successful Q1 2024 with assets reaching $10.5 trillion. Initiatives to expand its presence globally have been underway with the launch of an investing platform in Saudi Arabia, and the approval to start a mutual fund business in China. Acquisition of SpiderRock was a core part of its development plans aimed at bolstering SMA offerings. The company filed applications for an Ethereum ETF, signaling a possible breakthrough into crypto. However, the decision on the application is still delayed. Furthermore, it intends to buy Global Infrastructure Partners for $12.5 billion. Investor relations left something to be desired amidst rumors about significant layoffs and BlackRock's restructuring efforts. Despite Texas banning the company over ESG investing, BlackRock maintained its growth trajectory and announced an increase in dividends.
