BlackRock Reports Second Quarter 2026 Diluted EPS of $12.19, or $13.91 as adjusted
New York, July 15, 2026 – BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
$15.3 trillion in AUM following $868 billion of net inflows over the last twelve months, reflecting 10% organic base fee growth
Record first half net inflows of $321 billion including $192 billion in the second quarter, broad-based across the platform and driven by ETFs, private markets, active fixed income and systematic equity strategies
31% increase in revenue year-over-year reflects the positive impact of markets, organic base fee growth, fees related to the HPS Transaction, higher performance fees, and higher technology services and subscription revenue
13% growth in technology services and subscription revenue year-over-year, driven by continued momentum in Aladdin® and multi-product solutions
42% increase in operating income year-over-year (39% as adjusted)
20% increase in diluted EPS year-over-year (15% as adjusted) also reflects a lower nonoperating income and higher diluted share count in the current quarter
$450 million of share repurchases in the current quarter
Increasing planned quarterly share repurchases to $550 million
Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and CEO:
“Market fundamentals are strong and well supported, with higher margins and earnings momentum catalyzed by new technology. The scale and depth of our client relationships globally have never been greater. Clients are turning to BlackRock for insights and opportunities. That’s powering record financial performance, $868 billion of net inflows, and 10% organic base fee growth over the last year. Flows in the first six months of 2026 more than doubled year-over-year, driving AUM to a record $15.3 trillion.
“BlackRock is simultaneously a leading public markets manager, a scaled private markets platform, and a global technology company. The quality and breadth of our platform is differentiating us with clients more than ever before. It’s enabling us to earn more of their portfolios, and power durable earnings for our shareholders.
“In the second quarter clients entrusted us with $192 billion of net inflows, generating 8% organic base fee growth – well in excess of our target. iShares crossed $6 trillion in AUM, roughly doubling in three years. Demand is building across our active franchise with $53 billion of net inflows, where our systematic strategies drove equity net inflows and a record $7 billion into liquid alternatives. Technology services and subscription ACV growth of 15% reflects continued adoption of Aladdin as transparency, data, and analytics become more and more critical to our clients and industry.
“We’re seeing this momentum in our financial results. Our second quarter adjusted operating margin was 45.9% – the highest in almost five years. Quarterly operating income grew approximately 40% year-over-year. And our conviction in the growth ahead for BlackRock led us to increase our planned level of 2026 share repurchases to $2 billion.
“Helping more people benefit from the long-term growth of the capital markets is the core of our strategy and our greatest source of opportunity. It's how we deliver higher, more durable organic growth. We see it in our results this quarter: 8% organic base fee growth, a nearly 46% adjusted operating margin, double-digit EPS growth, and increasing capital return. The more clients we help participate in the markets, the more our own growth builds – higher organic growth, higher earnings growth, and more value for our shareholders. Our momentum is accelerating, and I've never been more optimistic about the growth ahead."

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (unaudited)
BlackRock reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, management believes evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP financial measures. Adjustments to GAAP financial measures (“non-GAAP adjustments”) include certain items management deems nonrecurring or that occur infrequently, transactions that ultimately will not impact BlackRock’s book value or certain tax items that do not impact cash flow. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to assess ongoing operations and considers them to be helpful, for both management and investors, in evaluating BlackRock’s financial performance over time. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures as a benchmark to compare its performance with other companies and to enhance comparability for the reporting periods presented. Non-GAAP financial measures may pose limitations because they do not include all of BlackRock’s revenue and expense. BlackRock’s management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Computations and reconciliations for all periods are derived from the condensed consolidated statements of income as follows:
(1) Operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted: Management believes operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted, are effective indicators of BlackRock’s financial performance over time, and, therefore, provide useful disclosure to investors. Management believes that operating margin, as adjusted, reflects the Company’s long-term ability to manage ongoing costs in relation to its revenues. The Company uses operating margin, as adjusted, to assess the Company’s financial performance, to determine the long-term and annual compensation of the Company’s senior-level employees and to evaluate the Company’s relative performance against industry peers. Furthermore, this metric eliminates margin variability arising from the accounting of revenues and expenses related to distributing different product structures in multiple distribution channels utilized by asset managers.
•
Operating income, as adjusted, includes the following non-GAAP expense adjustments:
(a)
Compensation expense related to appreciation (depreciation) on deferred cash compensation plans. The Company excludes compensation expense related to the market valuation changes on certain deferred cash compensation plans, which the Company hedges economically. For these deferred cash compensation plans, the final value of the deferred amount to be distributed to employees in cash upon vesting is determined based on the returns on specified investment funds. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the appreciation (depreciation) of the deferred cash compensation liability in proportion to the vested amount of the award during a respective period, while the net gain (loss) to economically hedge these plans is immediately recognized in nonoperating income (expense), which creates a timing difference impacting net income. This timing difference will reverse and offset to zero over the life of the award at the end of the multi-year vesting period. Management believes excluding market valuation changes related to the deferred cash compensation plans in the calculation of operating income, as adjusted, provides useful disclosure to both management and investors of the Company’s financial performance over time as these amounts are economically hedged, while also increasing comparability with other companies.
(b)
Acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs include adjustments related to amortization of intangible assets, change in fair value of contingent consideration (primarily associated with noncash contingent consideration) incurred in connection with certain acquisitions and other acquisition-related costs, including compensation costs for nonrecurring retention-related deferred compensation and general and administration expense primarily related to professional services. Management believes excluding the impact of these expenses when calculating operating income, as adjusted, provides a helpful indication of the Company’s financial performance over time, thereby providing helpful information for both management and investors while also increasing comparability with other companies.
(c)
Restructuring charge. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a restructuring charge, comprised of
severance and compensation expense for accelerated vesting of previously granted deferred compensation awards, in connection with an initiative to modify BlackRock's organization to fit more closely with strategic priorities. Management believes excluding the impact of this restructuring charge when calculating operating income, as adjusted, is useful to assess the Company’s financial performance and ongoing operations, and enhances comparability among periods presented.
•
Revenue used for calculating operating margin, as adjusted, is reduced to exclude all of the Company’s distribution fees, which are recorded as a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statements of income, as well as a portion of investment advisory fees received that is used to pay distribution and servicing costs. For certain products, based on distinct arrangements, distribution fees are collected by the Company and then passed through to third-party client intermediaries. For other products, investment advisory fees are collected by the Company and a portion is passed through to third-party client intermediaries. However, in both structures, the third-party client intermediary similarly owns the relationship with the retail client and is responsible for distributing the product and servicing the client. The amount of distribution and investment advisory fees fluctuates each period primarily based on a predetermined percentage of the value of AUM during the period. These fees also vary based on the type of investment product sold and the geographic location where it is sold. In addition, the Company may waive fees on certain products that could result in the reduction of payments to the third-party intermediaries.
15
(2) Nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI - CIPs, as adjusted: Management believes nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI - CIPs, as adjusted, is an effective measure for reviewing BlackRock’s nonoperating contribution to its results and provides comparability of this information among reporting periods. Nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI - CIPs, as adjusted, excludes the gain (loss) on the economic hedge of certain deferred cash compensation plans. As the gain (loss) on investments and derivatives used to hedge these compensation plans over time substantially offsets the compensation expense related to the market valuation changes on these deferred cash compensation plans, which is included in operating income, GAAP basis, management believes excluding the gain (loss) on the economic hedge of the deferred cash compensation plans when calculating nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI - CIPs, as adjusted, provides a useful measure for both management and investors of BlackRock’s nonoperating results that impact book value.
(3) Net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted:
•
Management believes net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, and diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, are useful measures of BlackRock’s profitability and financial performance. Net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, equals net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., GAAP basis, adjusted for certain items management deems nonrecurring or that occur infrequently, transactions that ultimately will not impact BlackRock’s book value or certain tax items that do not impact cash flow.
For each period presented, the non-GAAP adjustments were tax effected at the respective blended rates applicable to the adjustments. The non-GAAP adjustments in 2025 and 2026 related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration are primarily not deductible for income tax purposes.
•
In addition, beginning in the third quarter of 2025, in connection with the HPS Transaction, the Company updated its definition of net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, and diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, to assume all outstanding Subco Units issued as part of the consideration for the HPS Transaction have been exchanged in accordance with their terms on a one-for-one basis into common stock of BlackRock, as Subco Units are exchangeable at the option of the holder. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interest related to these Subco Units has been included as part of net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted. Management believes that these updated non-GAAP measures are useful indicators of BlackRock’s profitability and enhance comparability among periods presented, and therefore are useful to investors.
•
Per share amounts reflect net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding including Subco Units.
(4) ACV: Management believes ACV is an effective metric for reviewing BlackRock’s technology services and subscription's ongoing contribution to its operating results and provides comparability of this information among reporting periods while also providing a useful supplemental metric for both management and investors of BlackRock’s growth in technology services and subscription revenue over time, as it is linked to the net new business in technology and subscription services. ACV represents forward-looking, annualized estimated value of the recurring subscription fees under client contracts, assuming all client contracts that come up for renewal are renewed, unless the Company has received a notice of termination, even though such notice may not be effective until a later date. ACV also includes the annualized estimated value of new sales, for existing and new clients, when we execute client contracts, even though the recurring fees may not be effective until a later date and excludes nonrecurring fees such as implementation and consulting fees.
