Blackstone reported higher-than-expected first-quarter profits, largely due to successful asset sales in its private equity and credit divisions. Despite market uncertainties under President Trump's policies, Blackstone has capitalized on selective opportunities, boosting its shares by 1%. Distributable earnings rose 11% to $1.41 billion, exceeding analysts’ expectations. Significant inflows of $61.64 billion increased its assets under management by 10% to $1.17 trillion. However, its real estate arm's AUM saw a decline due to high interest rates.
