    **ALEX:** Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown where we cut through the noise to bring you the key insights from corporate America's quarterly reports. I'm Alex, and I'm joined by my co-host Jordan. Today we're diving into Blackstone's first quarter 2026 results, and wow, what a quarter this was.

    Before we jump in, I need to mention that this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    Jordan, Blackstone just posted some absolutely massive numbers here - we're talking about $13 billion in GAAP net income for the quarter. That's not a typo, right?

    **JORDAN:** No typo, Alex! That's a record-breaking number, and it really shows the power of Blackstone's diversified platform. But let me break this down for our listeners because there's a lot to unpack here. Distributable earnings - which is really the metric investors focus on - came in at $1.8 billion, or $1.36 per share. That's up 25% year-over-year, which is impressive given the volatile market backdrop.

    **ALEX:** And speaking of that backdrop, CEO Steve Schwarzman really painted a picture of just how crazy this environment has been. Since 2020, they've navigated five major market-moving events around the same time of year - COVID, Ukraine invasion, regional banking crisis, tariff announcements in 2025, and now this conflict in Iran that triggered the largest quarterly oil price increase in over 35 years.

    **JORDAN:** That's a great point, Alex. What struck me was Schwarzman's emphasis on patience being key during these events. He said when the world normalizes, risk appetite returns and investors refocus on fundamentals. But here's what's really interesting - despite all this chaos, Blackstone's flagship strategies reported positive appreciation while major equity and credit indices were declining.

    **ALEX:** The AI angle is absolutely fascinating here. Schwarzman mentioned he personally got involved in AI back in 2015, way before it became trendy. Now they're claiming to be the largest investor in AI-related infrastructure globally. Jordan, walk us through their AI positioning because it's massive.

    **JORDAN:** It really is staggering, Alex. They have over $150 billion in data centers globally, including facilities under construction, with another $160 billion in prospective pipeline development. Two weeks ago, they even filed to launch a new public company to acquire stabilized data centers. They've also become one of the largest investors in modernizing the U.S. electric grid, and they own the longest cross-country network of natural gas pipelines in the U.S.

    **ALEX:** What I found interesting was their investment in the actual AI companies themselves - they mentioned stakes in Anthropic and OpenAI through their wealth platform. So they're basically betting on the entire AI ecosystem from infrastructure to the technology itself.

    **JORDAN:** Exactly. And this positioning really paid off in their infrastructure business, which grew 41% year-over-year to $84 billion. Their BIP strategy has generated 19% net returns annually since inception - nearly double their original target of 10-12%. That's the kind of performance that attracts institutional money.

    **ALEX:** Now let's talk about the elephant in the room - private credit. There's been a lot of negative press about this sector, and it definitely impacted their wealth channel flows. Jordan, what's the real story here?

    **JORDAN:** This was probably the most interesting part of the call, Alex. Schwarzman was pretty fired up about what he called "external assertions" ranging from systemic risk concerns to predictions of significant investor losses. He pushed back hard, noting that their institutional and insurance clients - represent

    Blackstone Group Q4 2025 Earnings Analysis
    2026/02/24
    **BETA FINCH PODCAST SCRIPT**

    ---

    **ALEX:** Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown where we turn complex financial reports into clear conversations. I'm Alex.

    **JORDAN:** And I'm Jordan. Today we're diving into Blackstone's Q4 2025 earnings – and wow, what a quarter this was for the private equity giant.

    **ALEX:** Before we jump in, I need to mention that this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN:** Absolutely. Now Alex, let's talk about these numbers because Blackstone just delivered what they're calling their best results in their 40-year history.

    **ALEX:** The headline number that caught my eye – distributable earnings of $1.75 per share for the quarter, capping off a record year where DE increased 20% to $5.57 per share. That's $7.1 billion in distributable earnings for the full year. But Jordan, what really stood out to you?

    **JORDAN:** The sheer scale of capital flows. They pulled in $71 billion in inflows just in Q4 – that's the highest level in three and a half years. For the full year, we're talking about $240 billion in fundraising. To put that in perspective, their assets under management hit nearly $1.3 trillion, up 13% year over year.

    **ALEX:** That's an almost incomprehensible amount of money. And CEO Jonathan Gray made an interesting point about their market position – according to analyst research, Blackstone has an estimated 50% share of all private wealth revenue across major alternative firms.

    **JORDAN:** Which brings us to one of their biggest success stories – the private wealth channel. Their fundraising there jumped 53% year over year to $43 billion. But what's driving this?

    **ALEX:** Performance, performance, performance. Their BCRED product – that's their private credit offering for individual investors – delivered 10% net returns annually since inception five years ago. Their private equity flagship BXP has generated 17% annualized returns since launching just two years ago.

    **JORDAN:** Let's talk about the elephant in the room though – real estate. This has been a challenging sector, but there are some interesting developments. While real estate values only appreciated about 1.5% for the full year, they're seeing positive signs.

    **ALEX:** Right, construction starts have fallen to their lowest level in over 12 years in both logistics and multifamily – their two largest real estate sectors. Less supply typically means better pricing power down the road.

    **JORDAN:** And they're not just sitting on the sidelines. They've deployed over $50 billion in real estate since what they call the "cycle trough" two years ago, including a Q4 commitment to privatize Alexander and Baldwin.

    **ALEX:** Now let's talk about what might be the most exciting part of this call – the deal environment is finally opening up. Jonathan Gray compared it to 2013-2014, saying it feels like markets are coming out of hibernation.

    **JORDAN:** The Medline IPO was a perfect example. This was a $7.2 billion IPO – the largest since 2021 and the largest sponsor-backed IPO in history. Shares popped over 40% on the first day. Gray mentioned they have "one of the largest IPO pipelines in our history."

    **ALEX:** What did you make of their commentary on artificial intelligence? They seem to be positioning this as a generational investment opportunity.

    **JORDAN:** It's fascinating how they're approaching it on multiple levels. They're investing in the infrastructure – data centers, power generation, the electric grid. But they're also implementing AI across their 270+ portfolio companies. CFO Michael Chae mentioned seeing real productivity gains in software engineering and cyber monitoring already.

    **ALEX:** Speaking of their portfolio, the performance numbers across segments were pretty impre
