On August 7, Blackstone Group LP rose 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $137.63/share, with turnover of $63.63 million. The rally was driven by accelerating momentum across multiple business lines, particularly in AI infrastructure financing.
On the news front, Blackstone has begun early talks with investors to lead a debt package of at least $36 billion dedicated to financing Anthropic's lease of AI chips from Google. If finalized, this would surpass the $35 billion debt deal Blackstone and Apollo completed approximately two months ago, which was already among the largest private credit transactions on record. Additionally, Blackstone-backed AirTrunk secured $2.33 billion in green financing for its hyperscale data center campus in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, representing the largest green project finance transaction for a single data center in the country. Meanwhile, Blackstone-backed Jersey Mike's IPO was approximately 15 times oversubscribed, successfully raising $1 billion at $23 per share.
These developments reinforced confidence in Blackstone's asset management scale expansion, despite separate reports of cyber threats targeting the firm and a 94% decline in its listed private credit fund's profit due to markdowns.
