Larry Fink, chairman and CEO of BlackRock, discussed the company's third-quarter 2026 earnings, reporting record assets under management of $15.5 trillion and a 38% increase in adjusted earnings per share to $15.93. During the earnings call and subsequent interviews, Fink said he is seeing "genuine shortages of capital" for the first time in his 50-year career, citing historically large government deficits alongside rising demand for private capital across the economy. He cited recent BlackRock transactions with Humana and AT&T as examples of growing corporate demand for financing. Fink also addressed the AI boom in multiple appearances, stating he is more concerned about the United States failing to execute on AI opportunities than about an AI bubble. He described shortages in skilled trades, power, energy, chips, and memory as constraints on AI growth. Fink joined Ford CEO Jim Farley, Google's Ruth Porat, and Carhartt's Linda Hubbard in a public push for more skilled trade workers, calling the infrastructure buildout "the fastest rise of middle class jobs in the last 50 years." He advocated for securitizing and packaging computer chips to democratize access to compute for startups, and recommended that technology organizations self-regulate in coordination with government rather than face heavy-handed oversight.
