WELCOME TO BETA FINCH, YOUR AI-POWERED EARNINGS BREAKDOWN

ALEX: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown. I'm Alex, joined as always by Jordan. Today we're digging into BlackRock's third quarter 2026 results, and this is a loaded one. Before we get into it — 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: Okay, with that out of the way — Alex, this was a genuinely eye-popping quarter for BlackRock. Where do you want to start?

ALEX: Let's start with the headline numbers because they're hard to ignore. Revenue of $7.8 billion, up 19% year over year. Operating income up 27% to $3.3 billion. And EPS of $15.93, up 38% from a year ago.

JORDAN: Thirty-eight percent EPS growth for a company this size is wild. And it's not just one lever — operating margin hit 47.8%, up 320 basis points year over year. That's margin expansion at scale, which is genuinely hard to do once you're already this big.

ALEX: Right, and the flow story backs it up. $205 billion of net inflows in the quarter, and organic base fee growth of 11% — that's nine straight quarters at or above their 5% long-term target.

JORDAN: Nine consecutive quarters. CFO Martin Small made a point of saying this isn't one product or one region carrying the firm — it's broad-based across ETFs, private markets, systematic equity, SMAs, even digital assets. iShares alone pulled in $135 billion, with index bond ETFs leading at $61 billion.

ALEX: And this is the first full comparable quarter since the HPS acquisition closed, plus a full year of GIP and Preqin integration. Larry Fink called this "the clearest view yet of the earnings power of our integrated platform." AUM is now $15.5 trillion, up over $2 trillion in a year.

JORDAN: Let's talk strategy, because Fink's commentary here was honestly some of the more striking stuff I've heard on an earnings call. He said that for the first time in his 50-year career, he's seeing genuine shortages of capital — governments running record deficits while private capital demand is exploding.

ALEX: And he tied that directly to AI infrastructure. BlackRock partnered with Meta on financing a $14 billion data center in Texas, combining GIP's infrastructure expertise with HPS's private credit capabilities. Their AI Infrastructure Partnership also closed its first deal — the Aligned Data Centers transaction, about $40 billion in enterprise value.

JORDAN: The part that really stuck with me was Fink's mortgage-backed securities analogy. He's essentially arguing that compute capacity — GPUs, chips, data centers — is going to follow the same path mortgages did in the 1980s: illiquid and hard to price until standardized data and performance history made them tradable. He thinks BlackRock, through Aladdin's analytics, can be at the center of building that market for compute.

ALEX: It's a big bet, but it fits their whole thesis — combining public markets, private markets, and technology into one integrated offering. And the numbers back up the private markets push too. $68 billion raised in private credit over the trailing twelve months, $25 billion of that in their first full year owning HPS.

JORDAN: Now, the Q&A had some great color. On margins, Martin Small noted that excluding performance fees entirely, the "recurring fee margin" was still 48.6%, up 230 basis points — so this isn't just a performance-fee sugar high. He talked about pushing margins toward the 50%-plus range that top private markets firms post, partly because GIP and HPS already operate above that level.

ALEX: And when Goldman's Alex Blostein pushed Fink on where BlackRock fits in the AI financing stack — compute, data centers, capital structure
