Who owns the largest companies in the country? Million shareholders. However, a handful of giant Institutional investors Have the biggest participations.
Blackrock(NYSE: BLK) ranks near the list of these enormous institutional investors. This company has a large part of the so-called “Magnificent Seven” – And Wall Street thinks that its stock is a screaming purchase.
The magnificent seven consists of the following shares (listed in decreasing order according to market capitalization):
Vanguard Group, which is not listed on the stock market, is the largest shareholder of each of these actions. But BlackRock is close. It is the second largest shareholder in the seven magnificent.
Blackrock has around 1.09 billion Apple shares. This represents 7.28% of the actions in circulation of the iPhone manufacturer with a current value of more than $ 253 billion.
The participation of the financial services company in NVIDIA is almost as important. The 1.85 billion blackrock shares of Nvidia give it a 7.56% property of the GPU manufacturer and are estimated at more than $ 237 billion.
Unsurprisingly, his smallest position is in the smallest member of the Magnificent Seven – Tesla. Blackrock holds 194.7 million shares from the manufacturer of electric vehicles representing 6.05% of its actions in circulation. This participation in Tesla is worth around $ 71.7 billion.
It is logical that Blackrock has massive positions in the seven stocks. Many common investment, ETF and term funds (CEF) of the company are investing in the Magnificent Seven.
Most of the seven magnificent actions have been darling Wall Street in recent years. Blackrock is also a favorite of Wall Street.
Of the 18 analysts questioned by the data and infrastructure provider on the financial markets Lseg In February which covers BlackRock, five ranked stock as a “strong purchase”. Another evaluated BlackRock as a “purchase”. The remaining four analysts recommended the holding of financial actions.
The average price objective of 12 -month -old analysts for Blackrock reflects an upward potential of 14%. The most optimistic analyst interviewed by LSEG thinks that the stock can go up to Couier by 25% in the next 12 months.
What is Wall Street like about BlackRock? The acquisition pending by the company of HPS Investment Partners is considered positive by certain analysts. Blackrock announced in December 2024 that he planned to buy HPS Investment Partners for around $ 12 billion. HPS is a leading global investment manager with $ 148 billion in customer assets. The All-Stock agreement is expected to increase the blackrock assets on the private Blackrock markets 40%.
The overall optimism of analysts about Blackrock remains stable even after Vanguard announced lower costs for many of his funds. Blackrock did not indicate what changes he could make in response to the costs of costs of his main rival.
I do not know if the price of BlackRock’s action will increase 14% in the next 12 months as reflected in the consensual price objective. However, I agree with the positive take of Wall Street on Blackrock.
The company continues to provide strong growth with income and profit diluted by adjusted action, jumping from 23% from one year to the next in the fourth quarter of 2024. The acquisition of the HPS should feed even more growth.
President Trump said his desire to reduce regulations. This could provide a rear wind for a large part of the financial services sector, including Blackrock.
Finally, BlackRock is not too high at a bonus. His actions are negotiated at 21.5 times the long -term profits. Although it is not cheap, it is less than the S&P 500Its multiple term gains of 22.4.
I doubt that Blackrock will deliver gains during the next decade as spectacular as some of the seven magnificent stocks it has. However, it should nevertheless be a solid choice for long -term investors.
