The New York City office building at 345 Park Avenue where a deadly shooting occurred serves is the headquarters of investment firm Blackstone, as well as the NFL and Rudin Management.
Blackstone reported strong 2Q25 results, beating earnings and revenue estimates, with record assets under management and robust capital inflows, especially from institutional investors. Fee-related earnings surged 31% YoY, driving a 26% increase in distributable profits and supporting an 11% QoQ dividend hike, with an 85% payout ratio. The positive outlook for M&A and IPO markets, combined with Blackstone's capital-raising strength, underpins my continued Buy rating and 10% upside target.
A gunman opened fire in a busy New York office building on Monday, killing three people before turning the gun on himself.
