OVERVIEW

Why You Should?

  1. BlackRock will benefit from a strong global economy, as investors continue to put more money into the financial markets. BlackRock had to deal with a weaker economy before this pandemic occurred due to geopolitics. Once these conditions pass, BlackRock will benefit and its investor base will be benefited as well.
  2. The rising stock market will also benefit BlackRock as investors look for guidance on how to invest in different financial markets. Higher fees and commissions will also benefit the company’s top and bottom line due to the rising stock market and other financial markets.
  3. BlackRock has seen rising revenues and profits over the past couple of years due to the reasons mentioned above. These rising metrics will help the company grow in the future. This will benefit both the company and its investors. In the financial year of 2019, the company reported revenues of around 14.54 billion and profits of around 4.48 billion. Both of these metrics are higher than what the company reported in the financial year of 2018 when they had revenues of around 14.2 billion and profits of around 4.3 billion.

Why You Should Not?

  1. BlackRock faces tough competition from other investment tools, like Robinhood. They also face competition from other global banking companies like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, UBS, and many others like them. This competition might hurt BlackRock in the future.
  2. Progressive Democratic policy might also hurt BlackRock in the future. Higher taxes and other regulations which make it more expensive and/or harder to invest. These taxes will hurt the top and bottom lines of BlackRock and many other investment banks.
