Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Asset Management & Custody Banks is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
The reason to own it still holds.
View ThesisRevenue is growing steadily — about 17% over the past year.
View GrowthRanks in the weakest quality tier of its industry — roughly the bottom 35%, softest on free-cash-flow yield.
View QualityMiddle-of-the-pack management execution.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 33% growth a year, above the roughly 9% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 45% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskBlackstone's growth in AI infrastructure financing has to keep compounding to justify the price. Revenue grew 24% year over year, and the last quarter beat expectations. It trades at 22× P/E versus a peer median of 16×, indicating the market is pricing in more growth than forecast. If BX cuts guidance on the next call, that would be a meaningful negative. Peer multiples imply a price about 33% below where it trades (it looks expensive on this basis).
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-04. BX is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
