Evercore (EVR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Evercore's strong financial performance is highlighted by a 23% year-over-year increase in advisory revenues, reaching $698 million, which significantly surpassed consensus estimates by 19%. The firm's revenue projections for 2025 and 2026 have been positively adjusted due to anticipated growth in advisory and underwriting fees, alongside improved investment management revenue, driven by lower income tax burdens. Despite potential risks from policy uncertainty and the geopolitical environment, the outlook for merger and acquisition activity is expected to strengthen in the latter half of 2025 and into 2026, supporting Evercore's revenue momentum.
Bears say
Evercore's compensation ratio for the second quarter declined by 30 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 65.4%, making it the only firm within its coverage to report a decrease in this metric during the quarter. Additionally, expectations of an increase in merger and acquisition activity have led to a downward revision of future compensation ratios to 65.0% and 62.0% for the years 2025 and 2026, respectively, reflecting a faltering outlook compared to the previously estimated 65.3% and 62.1%. The company's reliance on advisory revenues raises concerns about sustainability, particularly as declining ratios may indicate increasing operational challenges in a competitive landscape.
