Evercore (EVR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Evercore's third-quarter estimate reflects an upward adjustment driven by increased total revenues and lower income taxes, suggesting a positive trajectory for the firm. Advisory revenues reached $698 million, marking a 23% year-over-year improvement and exceeding consensus estimates by 19%, indicating strong demand for its services. Additionally, the outlook for merger and acquisition activity is expected to enhance further into 2026, positioning Evercore favorably within the independent investment banking sector despite existing geopolitical and policy uncertainties.
Bears say
Evercore's recent financial reports indicate a declining compensation ratio, which fell by 30 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 65.4%, falling short of both internal and consensus estimates. The firm's expectations for an increase in merger and acquisition activity suggest a continued downward trend for the compensation ratio, with revised forecasts indicating further decreases to 65.0% and 62.0% for 2025 and 2026, respectively. Furthermore, Evercore has become the only firm in its coverage group to lower its compensation ratio this quarter, highlighting potential challenges in its operational efficiency relative to peers.
