shares fell 2.5% on Tuesday immediately after Credit score Suisse downgraded the alternative expenditure manager to underperform from neutral and slice its selling price focus on to $67.50 a share from $85.50 a share.

Katz cited a decreased contribution to rate-associated earnings from its flagship Blackstone Real Estate Money Trust, with blended-to-deteriorating lead indicators. Wall Street’s consensus estimates for Blackstone’s 2023-2024 distributable earnings are currently 5% to 12% far too large. “Our operate also factors to reasonably undifferentiated relative efficiency, incorporating a different move headwind,” Katz claimed. Shares of Blackstone Team are down 31.8% in 2022, as opposed to a 16.7% reduction by the S&P 500
