Blackstone’s Valuation, Post-1Q18 Earnings Release

Blackstone’s Valuation, Post-1Q18 Earnings Release

The Blackstone Group (BX) has an NTM (next-12-month) price-to-book ratio of 3.5x, higher than peers’ average ratio of 3.1x. Competitors Ares Management (ARES), Brookfield Asset Management (BAM), and Ameriprise Financial (AMP) have NTM price-to-book ratios of 4.4x, 1.5x, and 3.3x, respectively. Blackstone may have a higher valuation due to its 1Q18 numbers exceeding analysts’ expectations and its AUM (assets under management) rising in 1Q18.
