BlackRock share price history

BlackRock shares were trading near $643 in early October 2023, having eased from summer highs of around $685. Following this, the share price moved generally higher into 2024, supported by continued asset inflows and the performance of BlackRock’s diversified fund range, including increased interest in sustainable and technology-focused investments. Prices rose through early 2024, fluctuating between approximately $1,019 and $1,064, influenced by record assets under management and positive sentiment towards products such as BlackRock’s digital asset and ESG funds. The shares then declined to a low near $783 in June, amid broader sector volatility driven by changing market expectations on interest rates and a more cautious investor outlook in response to global macroeconomic conditions.

2025 saw BLK regain the $1,000 level by spring, reaching an intraday high of $1,183 on 6 October 2025.
