结论摘要
贝莱德Q3营收、调整后EPS、净流入与AUM全面超预期,是一份高质量财报;但市场盘前冲高3.3%–5.4%后盘中回落至平盘,利好被实时消化,对超大市值标的缺乏短线正期望,且无做空依据,故不做。
消息传播链
- 公司盘前发布Q3财报并召开7:30 ET电话会,为一手首发。市场反应:盘前一度上涨约3.3%,盘前高点1123.42美元(+5.4%)。
- Zacks确认BLK营收与EPS均超预期。

关键理由
- 调整后EPS 15.93美元(+38%)、营收+19%、有机基础费率+11%、AUM创新高,基本面与盈利动能确认为正面
- 但股价盘前高开后被打回平盘,说明该beat相对卖方预期幅度有限且已被定价,短线无剩余edge
主要风险
- 调整后EPS部分受本季较高非经营收入及单一对冲基金年度业绩费拉动,质量成分可能在下季回落
- 机构指数产品净流出274亿、当季市场变动-601亿美元,被动指数与市场beta仍有结构性波动

先例如何影响了这次决策
对本次决策的影响:实时价格行为直接确认price-in风险高,支持AVOID,无需再用先例定tp/sl。
方向:本案核心结论来自当日实时盘面(高开低走、利好消化),不依赖外部先例;未补充事件研究面板。
涨幅量级:无足够同市场同相位对齐先例校准幅度,但超大市值资管股财报beat的短线反应通常以低个位数计,已被当日盘前3.3%–5.4%的实际反应覆盖。
形态:盘前冲高、盘中回吐至平盘本身即见光死/sell-the-news的直接观测,比历史先例更具时效。

Highlights
• Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue increased $990 million from the third quarter of 2025,
primarily driven by organic base fee growth and the impact of market beta on average AUM. Securities lending revenue of $253
million increased from $203 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher spreads and higher average
balances of securities on loan.
Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue increased $310 million from the second quarter of
2026, primarily driven by organic base fee growth, the impact of market beta on average AUM, and the effect of one additional
day in the quarter. Securities lending revenue of $253 million increased from $239 million in the second quarter of 2026,
primarily reflecting higher spreads and higher average balances of securities on loan.
• Performance fees increased $114 million from the third quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher revenue from liquid
alternative products, largely related to a single hedge fund with an annual performance measurement period that ends in the
third quarter, partially offset by lower revenue from private markets products.
Performance fees increased $325 million from the second quarter of 2026, primarily reflecting higher revenue from liquid
alternative and private markets products, partially offset by lower revenue from long-only products.
• Technology services and subscription revenue increased $73 million from the third quarter of 2025 and $22 million from the
second quarter of 2026, reflecting the sustained demand for Aladdin and multi-product solutions. Technology services and
subscription annual contract value (“ACV”)(1) increased 12% from the third quarter of 2025.
• Distribution fees increased $59 million from the third quarter of 2025 primarily reflecting higher average AUM.

Highlights
• Employee compensation and benefits expense increased $83 million from the third quarter of 2025 and $166 million
from the second quarter of 2026, primarily reflecting the impact of higher operating income and performance fees,
partially offset by lower nonrecurring retention-related deferred compensation expense(1).
• Sales, asset and account expense increased $251 million from the third quarter of 2025 and $71 million from the
second quarter of 2026, driven by higher distribution and servicing costs and direct fund expense, primarily reflecting
higher average AUM.
• General and administration expense increased $42 million from the third quarter of 2025 and $11 million from the
second quarter of 2026, primarily driven by higher occupancy and office related expense, including the impact of
acquisition-related expenses(1) and higher technology expense, partially offset by lower acquisition-related(1)
professional services expense.
• Change in fair value of contingent consideration(1) increased $471 million as compared to the change in the third
quarter of 2025, and increased $553 million as compared to the change in the second quarter of 2026, primarily in
connection with the fair value of contingent consideration for the Global Infrastructure Management, LLC ("GIP")
transaction and HPS Investment Partners ("HPS") transaction, which is impacted by the share price of BlackRock
common stock at the end of the period.

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 and occupancy and office related expense. 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.

(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, net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, and diluted earnings per common share, as
adjusted, assumes 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 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.

19% increase in revenue year-over-year reflects the positive impact of “BlackRock brings together issuer relationships built over decades, financing
markets, organic base fee growth, higher performance fees, and higher expertise, investment performance, and the technology and data that

Highlights
• Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue increased $990 million from the third quarter of 2025,
primarily driven by organic base fee growth and the impact of market beta on average AUM. Securities lending revenue of $253
million increased from $203 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher spreads and higher average
balances of securities on loan.
Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue increased $310 million from the second quarter of
2026, primarily driven by organic base fee growth, the impact of market beta on average AUM, and the effect of one additional
day in the quarter. Securities lending revenue of $253 million increased from $239 million in the second quarter of 2026,
primarily reflecting higher spreads and higher average balances of securities on loan.
• Performance fees increased $114 million from the third quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher revenue from liquid
alternative products, largely related to a single hedge fund with an annual performance measurement period that ends in the
third quarter, partially offset by lower revenue from private markets products.
Performance fees increased $325 million from the second quarter of 2026, primarily reflecting higher revenue from liquid
alternative and private markets products, partially offset by lower revenue from long-only products.
• Technology services and subscription revenue increased $73 million from the third quarter of 2025 and $22 million from the
second quarter of 2026, reflecting the sustained demand for Aladdin and multi-product solutions. Technology services and
subscription annual contract value (“ACV”)(1) increased 12% from the third quarter of 2025.
• Distribution fees increased $59 million from the third quarter of 2025 primarily reflecting higher average AUM.

Highlights
• Employee compensation and benefits expense increased $83 million from the third quarter of 2025 and $166 million
from the second quarter of 2026, primarily reflecting the impact of higher operating income and performance fees,
partially offset by lower nonrecurring retention-related deferred compensation expense(1).
• Sales, asset and account expense increased $251 million from the third quarter of 2025 and $71 million from the
second quarter of 2026, driven by higher distribution and servicing costs and direct fund expense, primarily reflecting
higher average AUM.
• General and administration expense increased $42 million from the third quarter of 2025 and $11 million from the
second quarter of 2026, primarily driven by higher occupancy and office related expense, including the impact of
acquisition-related expenses(1) and higher technology expense, partially offset by lower acquisition-related(1)
professional services expense.
• Change in fair value of contingent consideration(1) increased $471 million as compared to the change in the third
quarter of 2025, and increased $553 million as compared to the change in the second quarter of 2026, primarily in
connection with the fair value of contingent consideration for the Global Infrastructure Management, LLC ("GIP")
transaction and HPS Investment Partners ("HPS") transaction, which is impacted by the share price of BlackRock
common stock at the end of the period.

These expenses have been excluded from the Company's "as adjusted" financial results under the expense adjustments for acquisition-related costs, as

(1)
Amounts relate to the gains (losses) from economically hedging certain BlackRock deferred cash compensation plans.
(2)
Management believes nonoperating income (expense), net of NCI - CIPs, as adjusted, is an effective measure for reviewing BlackRock’s nonoperating results,
which ultimately impacts BlackRock’s book value. For more information on as adjusted items and the reconciliation to GAAP, see notes to the condensed
consolidated statements of income and supplemental information on pages 14 through 16.
(3)
Amounts primarily include net gains (losses) related to credit funds, direct hedge fund strategies and hedge fund solutions.
(4)
Amounts primarily include net gains (losses) related to BlackRock's seed investment portfolio, net of impact of certain hedges.
(5)
Amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, include a nonoperating noncash pre-tax gain of approximately $22 million and a
noncash pre-tax loss of approximately $115 million, respectively, in connection with the Company's minority investment in Circle Internet Group, Inc.
Amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2026 also include a nonoperating noncash pre-tax gain of approximately $80 million in connection with
the Company's minority investment in Securitize Corp. Additional amounts include earnings (losses) from certain equity method minority investments and

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 and occupancy and office related expense. 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.

(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, net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, and diluted earnings per common share, as
adjusted, assumes 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 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.
