The stock opened Tuesday at $135.59 and touched an intraday high of $137.065 before fading. Selling picked up midweek, and Thursday’s low of $125.03 marked the weakest level of the week. Friday brought a modest rebound, closing at $128.51. The weekly range ran to 8.88%, while average daily volume of about 3.74m shares came in roughly 9.3% below the recent median. The price sits below its 20-day moving average but above the 60-day line. ## Key Events The week carried a heavy news flow for Blackstone, spanning real estate, infrastructure and alternative assets. The head of its real estate group stepped down after less than a year, with David Levine and Giovanni Cutaia named as successors. Reports also said Blackstone was exploring a sale of ZO Skin Health, while its Project Braid data-centre venture with Google faced early delays in site selection. On the portfolio side, Blackstone funds took a majority stake in the Sanha Logistics Park II development in South Korea, and the firm announced a strategic investment with ESR in prime Korean logistics assets. Blackstone also agreed to acquire Flow Control Holdings, a leader in highly engineered data-centre liquid cooling components. Elsewhere, Enbridge was reported to be near a roughly $2bn deal for Blackstone’s Pony Express crude pipeline. ## Analyst Ratings Among the 23 institutions covering Blackstone, 9 rate it buy, 3 rate it overweight, and 11 rate it hold; none rate it underweight or sell. The consensus recommendation is buy, with a consensus target of $144.38, about 12.3% above the current price. Targets range from $119 to $184, pointing to a fairly wide dispersion of views. Within the asset management and custody banks industry, Blackstone ranks first in terms of analyst coverage, with the consensus view clearly favourable relative to peers. ## The Week Ahead Macro data dominates the calendar on 15 and 16 September. Tuesday brings the New York Fed manufacturing index, with a prior reading of 20.6 and a consensus estimate of 14.75. Wednesday is heavy, with retail sales ex-autos, import prices, retail control group, overall retail sales, the NAHB housing market index and weekly EIA crude inventories all due. Retail sales carry a forecast of 0.9% against a prior -0.6%, a swing worth watching for its read on consumption momentum. Blackstone has no earnings on the horizon, but follow-through from this week’s real estate leadership change and infrastructure deal flow may keep the stock in play, along with any progress on the delayed data-centre venture. ## In Short Analyst coverage leans positive, with most brokers rating Blackstone buy or overweight and the consensus target about 12.3% above spot. The firm remains active across logistics, data-centre cooling and pipeline assets, suggesting continued capital deployment. Yet the stock fell 5.61% this week, trailing the market by roughly 5 percentage points, and the latest session’s flow showed large- and medium-lot money entering while small-lot money turned net seller. The tension sits between a still-supportive analyst view and near-term uncertainty from leadership churn and project delays. The next test is whether macro data can steady sentiment and whether the portfolio moves translate into renewed market confidence in the firm’s monetisation pace. *This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [BX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BX.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Corient Private Wealth LP Sells 42,331 Shares of Blackstone Inc. $BX](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298825041.md) - [Blackstone (BX) Could Be 10% Below Fair Value Following Nucleus Network Sale Talks](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298817247.md) - [Blackstone funds take majority stake in Sanha Logistics Park II development in South Korea](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298515689.md) - [Blackstone Inc.
