Is it a good time to buy BlackRock stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation.

BlackRock share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, BlackRock's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$888.2639 up to US$1207.3096. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

BLK.US volatility(beta: 1.49)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market ( average) beta is 1, while BlackRock's is 1.493. This would suggest that BlackRock's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

BlackRock share dividends

48%

Dividend payout ratio: 48.21% of net profits

Recently BlackRock has paid out, on average, around 48.21% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.16% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), BlackRock shareholders could enjoy a 2.16% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BlackRock's case, that would currently equate to about 21.36 per share.

While BlackRock's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that BlackRock may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

BlackRock's most recent dividend payout was on 23 March 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 March 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
