BlackRock (BLK), a global asset management giant, is reportedly close to acquiring data provider
Preqin. Amid sporadic market fluctuations, BLK stock continues to show resilience. Further, the firm's shareholder pool continues to diversify with notable acquisitions by
Occidental Asset Management LLC,
Kingswood Wealth Advisors LLC,
Fermata Advisors LLC and others. A restructuring in its
Active Equity Business has been announced, coupled with a victory against Saba in a closed-end fund dispute.
Geographical expansion plans are underway with intent to boost presence in
Japan and
Saudi Arabia. Q3 earnings surpassed expectations, lifting assets under management (AUM), which reached a record high of
$10.5 trillion with bond inflows. Despite occasional stock price drops, the company continues to receive positive rating from brokerages, fueling investor interest.
BLK's stock is partially impacted by insider sales and earnings anticipation. Meanwhile, innovation efforts include the launch of an
investment platform in Saudi Arabia, first
mutual fund to ETF conversion, and plans to unveil a
tokenized RWA fund on Ethereum network. However, the firm faced a cut of 600 employees for resource reallocation, and its previously postponed Ether ETF application awaits a decision.
