Asset manager BlackRock reported profits of 2.212 billion dollars (approximately 1.875 billion euros at the current exchange rate) in the first quarter of this year, a 46% increase compared to the same period last year, the company announced on Tuesday, the 14th. The profit of the world's largest asset manager, based in New York, was driven by a 27% growth in revenue to 6.698 billion dollars (5.680 billion euros), which the company attributes to positive market impact, growth in fees charged, and increased revenue from technology services and subscriptions. Revenue from technology services and subscriptions grew by 22% due to the performance of the Aladdin platform and the impact of the Preqin acquisition. By the end of March, assets under management at BlackRock reached 13.9 trillion dollars (12.8 trillion euros), up 20% from the end of 2025. BlackRock divests 7.1% of Naturgy in a 1.7 billion operation.
