Evercore (EVR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Evercore's advisory revenues reached $698 million in 3Q25, reflecting a robust 23% year-over-year growth and exceeding consensus estimates by 19%. The upward revisions for 2025 and 2026 estimates were primarily driven by an increase in advisory revenues, underwriting fees, and investment management revenue, alongside a favorable tax environment. The overall M&A backdrop is projected to improve in the latter half of 2025 and into 2026, suggesting positive momentum for the firm despite existing geopolitical and policy uncertainties.
Bears say
Evercore has exhibited a declining compensation ratio, which decreased by 30 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 65.4%, marking the only reduction among peers in the sector for the quarter. This decline raises concerns about the firm's ability to maintain profitability in a competitive landscape, particularly as estimates for the compensation ratio are expected to further decrease to 65.0% and 62.0% for 2025 and 2026, respectively. Additionally, while other revenues have remained aligned with expectations, the forecast of increasing M&A activity could further pressure margins, contributing to a negative outlook on the firm's financial stability.
