BlackRock’s Q1 Earnings & Revenues Surpass Estimates

By Kurt Osterberg · On April 12, 2018

Have you been eager to see how BlackRock, Inc. (BLK – Free Report) performed in Q1 in comparison with the market expectations? Let’s quickly scan through the key facts from this New York-based investment management company’s earnings release this morning:

An Earnings Beat

BlackRock came out with adjusted earnings per share of $6.70, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.42.

Higher-than-expected earnings were primarily driven by improvement in revenues.

How Was the Estimate Revision Trend?

You should note that the earnings estimate revisions for BlackRock depicted bearish trend prior to the earnings release. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has moved nearly 1% lower over the last 7 days.

Before posting earnings beat in Q1, the company delivered positive surprises in three of the trailing four quarters.

As a result, the company overall surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by an average of 3.1% in the trailing four quarters.

Revenue Came In Higher-than-Expected

BlackRock posted revenues (on GAAP basis) of $3.58 billion, surpassing with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.28 billion. The reported figure was up from 16% from the year-ago quarter.

Key Stats

  • Assets under management of $6.32 trillion as of Mar 31, 2018, up 17% year over year
  • Long-term inflows of $54.6 billion in the quarter
  • Share repurchase worth $355 million during the quarter
  • What Zacks Rank Says

    The estimate revisions that we discussed earlier have driven a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for BlackRock. However, since the latest earnings performance is yet to be reflected in the estimate revisions, the rank is subject to change. While things apparently look favorable, it all depends on what sense the just-released report makes to the analysts.
