BlackRock’s Q3 2026 results, released before the October 14 open, featured record adjusted EPS of $15.93 (up 38% year-over-year) and revenue of $7.75 billion (up 19%), driven by $205 billion in net inflows and AUM reaching $15.49 trillion. Organic base-fee growth hit 11%, supported by $135 billion in iShares ETF flows and strength across fixed income and private markets, while technology subscription revenue rose 14%. Management highlighted resilient equity markets, AI infrastructure deployment, and long-term targets for private-markets revenue, with the call likely addressing Q4 seasonal ETF strength, share-repurchase plans, and any commentary on Fed policy or Treasury-yield volatility. These metrics set the baseline for trader expectations around forward guidance.
