EV/EBITDA

The EV/EBITDA ratio measures a company's total value (including debt) relative to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization — essentially, how many years of operating profit it would take to buy the whole firm.

Blackstone's current EV/EBITDA of 27.1x is well above the sector median of 16.2x, placing it in the 86th percentile among Financial Services peers — meaning it is more expensive than the vast majority of comparable firms. No trend data is available: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and last eight quarters of data are all listed as N/A. Because the valuation is very high and there is no trend to confirm its direction, the level alone signals elevated expectations for future earnings growth, which raises risk if those expectations are not met. This elevated multiple, combined with the absence of trend information, does not contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict — it reinforces the view that while Blackstone has premium pricing, the lack of recent data leaves room for uncertainty rather than a clear bullish or bearish signal.
