<h2>Unveiling the Story Behind Blackstone</h2>
Blackstone is the world's largest alternative-asset manager with $1.108 trillion in total asset under management, including $820.5 billion in fee-earning assets under management, at the end of September 2024. The company has four core business segments: private equity (25% of fee-earning AUM and 30% of base management fees), real estate (35% and 39%), credit and insurance (31% and 24%), and multi-asset investing (9% and 7%). While the firm primarily serves institutional investors (87% of AUM), it also caters to clients in the high-net-worth channel (13%). Blackstone operates through 25 offices in the Americas (8), Europe and the Middle East (9), and the Asia-Pacific region (8).
<h3>Breaking Down Blackstone's Financial Performance</h3>
Market Capitalization: Positioned above industry average, the company's market capitalization underscores its superiority in size, indicative of a strong market presence.
Revenue Challenges: Blackstone's revenue growth over 3M faced difficulties. As of 31 March, 2025, the company experienced a decline of approximately -7.28%. This indicates a decrease in top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Financials sector.
Net Margin: Blackstone's net margin falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in achieving strong profitability. With a net margin of 21.75%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): Blackstone's ROE surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive 7.6% ROE, the company effectively utilizes shareholder equity capital.
Return on Assets (ROA): The company's ROA is a standout performer, exceeding industry averages. With an impressive ROA of 1.39%, the company showcases effective utilization of assets.
Debt Management: Blackstone's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 1.68. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>The Core of Analyst Ratings: What Every Investor Should Know</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders. It is crucial to recognize that, despite their specialization, analysts are human and can only provide forecasts based on their beliefs.

Analyst Ratings

Blackstone Stock: A Deep Dive Into Analyst Perspectives (15 Ratings)

BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya reiterated a Buy rating on NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with a $160 price target on Thursday.
Arya updated his fiscal first quarter outlook following supply chain insights, investor discussions and Nvidia&#8217;s remarks at the recent Computex trade show, particularly concerning the U.S. ban <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nvidia">on H20 sales to China.</a>
He highlighted a disconnect between Nvidia's stated $15 billion in lost China sales, the revised fiscal 2026 (calendar 2025) sales estimate of $10 billion–$12 billion and the more conservative $3.8 billion in consensus revisions. Depending on China shipment timing, this could amplify to a $4 billion–$5 billion headwind in the fiscal second quarter.
Gross margin recovery remains a key focus. Arya looks for management confidence in restoring margins to the mid-70s in the second half, driven by Blackwell ramp-up and rack-level product yields.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45587680/emergence-of-ualink-as-a-viable-alternative-could-challenge-nvidias-dominance-analyst-asserts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Emergence Of UALink As A Viable Alternative Could Challenge Nvidia&#8217;s Dominance, Analyst Asserts</a>
Despite these near-term headwinds, Arya considers Nvidia as a top sector pick, citing its unique position in global AI deployment and potential China sales rebound through redesigned, compliant products later in the year.
For the fiscal first quarter, Arya expects a modest beat versus Nvidia's $43 billion guidance and consensus of $43.4 billion. However, the $5.5 billion H20-related inventory write-off may pull gross margins to ~58%, below the 71% guide. He forecasts adjusted EPS at 74 cents, under the consensus of 88 cents. No material H20 impact is expected in the first quarter.
Fiscal second quarter consensus has dropped from $48 billion (pre H20 ban) to $46.4 billion, with investor expectations closer to $45 billion–$46 billion. Current models only reflect a ~$2 billion H20 headwind, which may be optimistic if early-year sales were front-loaded.
By comparison, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) estimated 47% of its $1.5 billion China impact would hit in the second quarter. Applying that ratio to Nvidia&#8217;s $15 billion China headwind implies a $7 billion second quarter hit, potentially dropping sales guidance to $41 billion, well below consensus. This would imply an adjusted EPS of ~85 cents, 16% below estimates.
Looking further ahead, Arya estimates the $15 billion China sales headwind could bring fiscal 2026 revenue down to $190 billion, 6% below consensus, and adjusted EPS to $3.93, 10% below the current $4.38, or 14% below the pre-ban $4.56 consensus.
A potential upside could from a faster non-China Blackwell ramp as Nvidia accelerates testing of its move back to &#8220;Bianca&#8221; compute boards from the prior decision to move to &#8220;Cordelia&#8221; boards for GB300 GPU.
NVDA Price Action:&nbsp;Nvidia stock is trading lower by 0.76% to $131.82 at publication on Friday.

<h3>A Look at Mondelez International P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Mondelez International has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 30.35 of the Food Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748023233_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.
