BlackRock AUM Hits Record $14 Trillion as Stock Market Rally Drives Massive Inflows
Strong global stock markets and surging demand for exchange-traded funds pushed BlackRock’s assets under management (AUM) to a new all-time high of $14 trillion at the end of last year, cementing its position as the world’s largest asset manager.
BlackRock reported a record $698 billion in net inflows for the full year, including $342 billion in the fourth quarter alone, as investors poured money into the firm’s investment products amid a broad market rally.
Chairman and CEO Larry Fink said the company “enters 2026 with accelerating momentum across our entire platform,” highlighting the impact of BlackRock’s recent acquisitions, including Global Infrastructure Partners, HPS Investment Partners, and Preqin, which expands its reach in private markets, data, and alternative investments.
“Our pipeline of business has broadened across products and regions, spanning public and private markets, technology and data, and client channels,” Fink said. “We’re seeing excellent fundraising activity as we work toward our goal of $400 billion in private markets fundraising by 2030.”
Financial results also exceeded expectations. Fourth-quarter revenue jumped 23% to $7 billion, bringing full-year revenue to $24.2 billion, up 19% from 2024. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $13.16, beating analysts’ forecasts of $12.19, according to FactSet.
Investors welcomed the strong earnings report and upbeat outlook. BlackRock shares (BLK) rose more than 2% in premarket trading, extending their gains to about 10% over the past 12 months.
