BlackRock’s Earnings‌ As you can see, BlackRock's net income has been increasing over the past 5 years, with a significant jump in 2022. Revenue has also been increasing, with a particularly strong increase in 2021. EPS has been increasing, but not as quickly as net income. Overall, BlackRock's financial performance has been strong over the past 5 years. The company's net income and revenue have both been increasing. EPS has been increasing, but not as quickly as net income. This suggests that BlackRock is a well-managed company with a strong financial foundation. Here are some additional details about BlackRock's financial performance over the past 5 years: The company's net income growth has been driven by a number of factors, including the growth of the global asset management industry, the expansion of the company's product offerings, and the increase in its average fee rate. Revenue growth has been driven by the same factors as net income growth, as well as the growth of the company's AUM. EPS growth has been driven by the company's strong net income growth and its relatively low share count. BlackRock is a leading global asset manager. The company offers a wide range of products and services, including mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and index funds. BlackRock is well-positioned for future growth, as the global asset management industry is expected to continue to grow. For the coming earnings, investing has a forecast of 8.43 and 4.48B for the EPS and Revenue respectively. Will BlackRock be able to beat expectations?
