Why Is BX a Good Business?
With over $1 trillion in assets under management and investments spanning real estate, private equity, credit, and hedge funds, Blackstone (NYSE:BX) is a global alternative asset manager that invests capital on behalf of pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and other institutional investors.
1. Skyrocketing Revenue Shows Strong Momentum
A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years.
Over the last five years, Blackstone grew its revenue at an excellent 19.2% compounded annual growth rate. Its growth surpassed the average financials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.
2. Fee-Related Earnings Jumped Higher
Topline performance tells part of the story, but sustainable profitability is the real measure of success. In the asset management space, fee-related earnings isolate the consistent profits from ongoing fee-based operations, filtering out the volatility of performance fees and investment income. This gives us a clear view of the company’s recurring earnings potential.
Blackstone’s annual fee-related earnings growth over the last five years was 22.7%, a top-notch result.
3. Outstanding Long-Term EPS Growth
We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) because it highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.
Blackstone’s remarkable 19.7% annual EPS growth over the last five years aligns with its revenue performance. This tells us it maintained its per-share profitability as it expanded.
