An Easy Name To Own
BlackRock is the biggest Big Money in town, the Grand Poobah of Matters Fiscal. So when times are good in risk assets - and times are good in risk assets - it’s usually a good time to own $BLK stock. The name has been a high performer within our Inner Circle Financial Sector Model portfolio since June 2023; this quarter’s numbers look strong too, with revenue growth accelerating for the last five quarters at the same time that EBITDA and cashflow margins have also ticked up a little. The balance sheet remains a tower of strength even after factoring in pension liabilities. On fundamentals this is an easy name to own. Below we lay out the headline numbers (before the paywall) and then take a look at the detailed financials, valuation analysis and our stock price projection, technical analysis and rating (after the paywall).
If you’re a free reader here, and you’d like to access the post-paywall stuff, you can sign up below either for our entry-level ‘Market Insight’ tier, or our full-monty ‘Inner Circle’ service. If you have any problems doing so, or you’d like to know more about what the pay services offer, you can reach us anytime using the contact form on this site, here.
