New York — Friday, December 26, 2025, 3:01 p.m. ET.

Blackstone (BX) stock price rebounds after Sabre deal as jobs, CPI loom next week

7 February 2026
New York, February 6, 2026, 21:13 EST — Market closed. Blackstone Inc. (BX) shares closed up 2.25% at $129.69 on Friday, after a sharp drop the day before and a bruising week for the sector. The stock was last at $129.65 in late after-hours trading. (StockAnalysis) The swing matters because Blackstone sits in the crosshairs of a wider rethink of private-market managers. Investors have been quick to punish anything tied to leverage, credit risk and tech exposure, then just as quick to buy back when rates and risk appetite settle. That push-pull has been driven in part by an AI-linked
