How Blackstone Inc. scores

Blackstone Inc. (BX) has a Lemma Quality Score of 5.2 out of 10 as of October 16, 2026, which reads as mixed quality. A mixed reading means the strengths and weaknesses roughly cancel out, and the case for the business depends on which pillars you care about most. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.

Among the 261 Financials companies with a published score, that ranks at the 34th percentile, just below the middle of the group. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.9 and a company needs 6.8 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Blackstone Inc. below the median.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, Blackstone Inc. scores 7.2, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.8 across 255 Financials companies, which places it in line with them, at the 58th percentile. Returns and margins at this level leave room to reinvest, absorb a bad year or return cash to shareholders without straining the business.

Solvency

There is no solvency score for Blackstone Inc.: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 140 Financials companies the median for this pillar is 8.5. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.

Growth

Growth scores 1.0 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 241 Financials companies is 4.6, so Blackstone Inc. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 6th percentile. When growth is this low the question is whether it is a pause or a trend, and the history behind the filings is the place to look.

Efficiency

Blackstone Inc.’s efficiency score is 10.0 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 5.8 among 211 Financials companies, that is well above the group and the 96th percentile. Efficiency at this level means the company needs comparatively little capital to produce what it sells.

Predictability

On predictability, Blackstone Inc. scores 3.3, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 256 Financials companies, which places it well below them, at the 25th percentile. Weak predictability means revenue or earnings have swung widely from year to year, so any single year’s figures are a less reliable guide.

Strongest and weakest pillar

This is a lopsided profile. Efficiency scores 10.0 but growth only 1.0, a gap of 9.0 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. An efficiency lead means the operation turns what it has into cash better than it does anything else. A growth shortfall often comes with size or a maturing market, and is less of a concern if the other pillars are strong.

What would move the score

Closing the gap on growth would do the most for the overall. At the median of Financials companies, 4.6, Blackstone Inc. would score about 6.1 instead of 5.2. Only four of the five pillars could be scored. Together they carry 80 of the 100 weight points (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and the overall is the weighted average of those alone.

How this score is calculated

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.

Limitations

This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.
