Barclays raised the firm’s price target on Blackstone to $101 from $99 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The analyst expects realized income to continue at “depressed levels” and fundraising to be “relatively soft” for companies with large private equity funds in the market. Capital markets fees could also print relatively light in Q2, as transaction activity appears fairly unchanged quarter-over-quarter, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees Apollo and Ares as well positioned, given expected fundraising strength.
