BlackRock Chairman and CEO Larry Fink announced that his firm experienced its highest-ever year and quarter of net inflows.
Today, BlackRock reported full-year 2025 diluted EPS of $35.31, or $48.09 as adjusted. Fourth-quarter 2025 diluted EPS was $7.16, or $13.16.
During Q4, the asset manager received $342 billion in client cash, boosting the company’s total assets to a new record of $14 trillion.
Fink told investors: “BlackRock enters 2026 with accelerating momentum platform, coming off the strongest year and quarter of net inflows in history. Clients entrusted us with $698 billion of new assets in 2025, powering 9% organic base fee growth. And we ended the year with back- to-back quarters of double-digit organic base fee growth, including 12% in the fourth quarter.”
Moving forward, Fink said, “2026 will be our first full year as a unified platform with GIP, HPS and Preqin. Around the world, clients are looking to do more across BlackRock. Our pipeline of business has broadened across products and regions, spanning public and private markets mandates, technology and data, and client channels. We’re seeing excellent fundraising activity as we work toward our goal of $400 billion in private markets fundraising by 2030.”
“BlackRock is at the forefront of some of the largest new growth channels across the industry – from private markets to wealth and 401(k), to active ETFs, to private markets data, to digital assets and tokenization. Our belief in our increasing growth and margin trajectory led us to raise our nonoperating income and a higher diluted share count dividend per share by 10% and our level of planned share repurchases.”
“BlackRock is differentiated as a scale operator in public and private markets investing and technology, which is enhancing our positioning with clients worldwide. We’re a leader in public and private markets, and in technology and data. We’re a foundational player in both traditional and decentralized financial markets. Importantly, we bring it all together to deliver BlackRock to our clients in a consistent, unified way. We’ve already begun 2026 with strong momentum, and we’re positioned ahead of big future opportunities to deliver better outcomes for clients and growth for our shareholders.”
BlackRock stock increased nearly 2% in premarket trading following the announcement.
