What the filing says
BlackRock reported Q2 2026 AUM of $15.3 trillion (+22% YoY), with record first-half net inflows of $321 billion ($192B in Q2). Diluted EPS of $12.19 GAAP (+20% YoY) or $13.91 adjusted (+15% YoY); revenue rose 31% YoY to $7.1B. Company increased planned 2026 share repurchases to $2.0B (from prior level) and raised quarterly repurchases to $550M. Operating margin (adjusted) reached 45.9%, highest in nearly five years.
Why this rating
Strong earnings growth, record flows, and margin expansion are ordinary positive business performance, but relative to $159B market cap, organic base fee growth of 10% LTM and $868B LTM net inflows represent meaningful momentum without structural change. Increased buybacks signal confidence but are routine capital deployment.
