Prior to today's trading, shares of the investment firm had gained 3.11% over the past month. This has outpaced the Finance sector's gain of 2.55% and the S&P 500's gain of 1.52% in that time.

It is anticipated that the company will report an EPS of $10.29, marking a 5.68% fall compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Meanwhile, the latest consensus estimate predicts the revenue to be $5.11 billion, indicating a 13.09% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
For the annual period, the Zacks Consensus Estimates anticipate earnings of $41.34 per share and a revenue of $20.14 billion, signifying shifts of +9.45% and +12.75%, respectively, from the last year.
Additionally, investors should keep an eye on any recent revisions to analyst forecasts for BlackRock. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. Consequently, upward revisions in estimates express analysts' positivity towards the company's business operations and its ability to generate profits.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
