BlackRock reports third-quarter 2026 results before the market open on October 14, with the earnings call at 7:30 a.m. ET, amid expectations for revenue near $7.43 billion and adjusted EPS around $14.33. Traders are focused on updates to assets under management, which reached $15.3 trillion in the prior quarter on $192 billion of net inflows driven primarily by ETF demand. Recent data show continued strength in core equity and fixed-income ETFs alongside leadership in spot Bitcoin products, where BlackRock’s IBIT captured the bulk of positive flows. Key discussion points will likely include organic base-fee growth, margin trends, digital-asset AUM trajectory, and any forward commentary on monetary policy or risk-asset demand. The release and call represent the immediate catalyst shaping near-term sentiment on these metrics.
