New York, Feb 11, 2026, 11:13 EST — Regular session
- Brookfield Corporation shares dropped roughly 2% by late morning.
- With the company’s fourth-quarter results slated for Thursday, investors are making their moves.
- Alternative asset managers dropped, with traders rethinking the U.S. rate trajectory following robust jobs numbers.
Brookfield Corporation shares slipped 1.9% to $46.81 by late morning Wednesday. The stock kicked off the session at $48.02, then dropped to a low of $46.50.
Just ahead of Brookfield’s quarterly numbers, investors are zeroing in on how much cash the company’s blend of asset management and operating units is really producing, especially with rates bouncing around. Sentiment shifted once more after January’s U.S. jobs report landed hotter than forecast—traders now expect the Federal Reserve to delay its first rate cut to July, instead of June, according to LSEG data. “The underlying employment picture looks like it’s stronger than what’s expected,” said Jordan Rizzuto, chief investment officer at GammaRoad Capital Partners. 1
U.S. stocks reversed course and slipped by late morning, as the early bump from the jobs data faded. Treasury yields, which had surged at the open, also pared back some gains, Investopedia’s live market coverage showed. 2
Brookfield’s shares struggled, moving in step with losses among other public private-capital firms. Apollo Global Management slipped 3.5%, Carlyle gave up roughly 4.9%, while Blackstone declined 1.7% during the same stretch.
Brookfield plans to post its fourth-quarter 2025 results around 7:00 a.m. ET on Thursday, with a conference call and webcast scheduled for 10:00 a.m. ET. The company, which bills itself as a global investment player, says its main lines of business include alternative asset management, wealth solutions, and operating segments covering renewable power, infrastructure, business and industrial services, plus real estate. 3
Shares in Brookfield Asset Management, the publicly traded asset manager within the wider group, slipped 2.8% this day.
Rates are still hanging over the market. Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid cautioned Wednesday that it’s premature to count on productivity improvements to tame “still-elevated inflation.” He also flagged the risk that lowering rates too fast could allow price pressures to persist. 4
Brookfield draws investor attention mostly for its fee-related earnings, that steady stream from money management, plus how quickly it’s raising and putting capital to work. Investors also keep an ear out for updates on real estate and other long-term assets. There, discount rates play a role, and valuations can shift with the news cycle.
This dynamic isn’t one-sided. Should investors read the new data as a sign rates will stay “higher for longer,” financing costs could remain stubbornly elevated. That might sap enthusiasm for deals—even if companies continue to generate solid operating cash flow.
Brookfield reports on Thursday. Right after that, eyes turn to Friday’s U.S. consumer price index—traders are parsing it for any new clues about the Fed’s direction. 5
