Third-Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Blackstone Mortgage Trust (NYSE:BXMT) has released its financial results for the third quarter of 2025. The company reported figures that came in below analyst expectations for its key earnings metric, which appears to have influenced early market sentiment.
Earnings and Revenue Versus Estimates
The company's reported Distributable Earnings Per Share (EPS), a key non-GAAP profitability measure, fell short of Wall Street's projections. Meanwhile, the top-line revenue figure also missed consensus estimates.
- Distributable EPS: Reported $0.24 versus an analyst estimate of $0.2783.
- Revenue (Sales): Reported $98.9 million versus an analyst estimate of approximately $117.7 million.
The reported GAAP net income for the quarter was $63.4 million, translating to a GAAP EPS of $0.37. The company paid a dividend of $0.47 per share during the quarter. It is noteworthy that the dividend paid exceeded the reported Distributable EPS for the period.
Market Reaction
The market's initial reaction to the earnings release has been positive in pre-market trading, with shares indicating an opening gain of approximately 1.98%. This upward move occurs despite the earnings and revenue miss, suggesting investors may be focusing on other aspects of the report or broader sector trends. This follows a period of relative stability for the stock, which has seen minimal movement over the past month.

She stated that the third-quarter results "underscore the continued forward momentum across all aspects of our business, including earnings power, investment activity, credit performance, and balance sheet optimization." Keenan highlighted the advantage of the trust's "scaled platform," which includes over 160 real estate debt professionals, in sourcing compelling global investments to drive shareholder returns.
