Analysts Are Bullish on These 10 Stocks for 2025, Here’s Why

3. Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:BX)

Blackstone Inc. operates as an alternative asset management company. It is focused on secondary funds of funds, hedge fund solutions, private equity, public debt, credit, real estate, and equity and multi-asset class strategies. The stock has been experiencing a downturn since the second half of the previous year but it could all change very soon.

The company was upgraded by UBS from Neutral to Buy as the recent 27% slump in the share prices presents an attractive entry point for a leading alternatives platform. UBS also expects that the challenges facing the company’s real estate business will continue to ease, leading to potential fee-related revenue growth starting in 2025.

“This resilience is due to its strong position but also the proactive management of the situation, and when paired with the solid investor experience in BREIT, particularly vs other RE products, suggests upside to WM [wealth management] fundraising (at attractive economics).”

The company’s growth outlook for 2025 seems promising. Analysts project EPS growth of 22% and 16% for 2026 and 2027 respectively. Based on the long-term positive outlook of the company, recent decline in share price should be taken as a buying opportunity.
