Blackstone Inc. (ISIN US09260D1072) was trading at EUR 96.03 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, at 11:01 a.m. CEST, 0.94 percent below the Xetra close of October 19, 2026. The latest market signal is unusual options activity before the asset manager's third-quarter report.

MarketBeat reported on October 16, 2026, that investors bought 22,725 Blackstone put options, 20 percent above the typical volume of 18,950 contracts. The figure points to increased demand for downside protection ahead of an event that could reset expectations for realizations, fundraising and fee-related earnings.

Analyst targets move lower

Target revisions add a cautious valuation signal. According to MarketBeat on October 13, 2026, UBS lowered its Blackstone target from USD 122.00 to USD 116.00 and kept a neutral rating. Earlier, MarketBeat reported that TD Cowen cut its target from USD 154.00 to USD 144.00 while retaining a buy rating.

What will results clarify?

Blackstone's second-quarter 2026 revenue was USD 5.04 billion, while diluted earnings per share reached USD 1.54, according to the standardized financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026. That revenue figure was 35.9 percent above the year-earlier period, and earnings per share were higher than the USD 0.98 reported for the comparable quarter in 2025. The next report will show whether that growth translated into stronger realizations and new fee income.

Three dates frame the setup

On July 23, 2026, Blackstone reported second-quarter revenue of USD 5.04 billion. On October 13, 2026, UBS reduced its target to USD 116.00. On October 16, 2026, put-option volume reached 22,725 contracts, according to MarketBeat.

Upcoming reporting date
