BlackRock Has Sold the Second-Most Shares YTD

News summary by MFWire's editors

Liz Moyer of the Wall Street Journal writes that financial firms have been leading all other sectors in selling stock this year, with AIG and BlackRock [profile] selling the most shares year-to-date.

BlackRock's $4.6 billion offering from May puts the firm in second place, right behind AIG, whose $17.4 billion of share sales are related to the government's sales of its shares in the insurer. Capital One Financial Corp. is in third, having sold $1.3 billion of stock.

On the whole, issuance has been down so far this year. Moyer thinks that the focus on financial issuances is a sign of the slowdown: "When the going gets tough, banks turn to their own to drum up business," she writes.
