Blackstone 1 Quarter 2025 Earnings Announcement Comment

 


Blackstone Inc announced 1.2 billion USD in net income for 1Q 2025 and 5.1 billion USDs net income for the last 12 months.

Blackstone Inc reported 3.289 billion USD in revenue for 1Q 2025 and 12.8 billion USDs in revenue for the last 12 months.

Revenue in 1Q 2025 was below the 3.7 billion 1Q 2024 number. Net income in Q1 2025 was also below the 1.6 billion reported for 1Q 2024. 

Net income and revenue however for the trailing 12 months for 1Q 2025 were around 20 %  higher than the trailing 12 months for 1Q 2024.

That underlies Blackstone's success as the company furthers its quest to power the artificial intelligence, AI revolution via the investments it manages.

Blackstone's main strategy is to invest in AI data centers infrastructure and the energy that powers them. As we are witnessing the AI boom, Blackstone's strategy bears fruit and Blackstone's market capitalization is 169.11 billion USDs down from more than 220 billion USD in market capitalization Blackstone is recently valued.

Blackstone via its earnings and revenue multiples is valued more like an artificial intelligence, AI company, according to Wolfteam Ltd.'s projections and estimates.

This is a natural consequence of Blackstone's strategy to use the money it manages to invest in artificial intelligence, AI related infrastructure and energy, in Wolfteam Ltd.'s view.

Below are Blackstone's 1Q 2025 financial results:

GAAP Net Income was $1.2 billion for the quarter and $5.1 billion over the last twelve months (“LTM”). GAAP Net
Income Attributable to Blackstone Inc. was $615 million for the quarter and $2.5 billion over the LTM.
