Evercore (EVR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Evercore (EVR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Evercore's stock outlook remains positive due to a significant increase in advisory revenues, which reached $698 million, reflecting a 23% year-over-year growth and surpassing consensus estimates by 19%. Additionally, the firm is expected to benefit from rising advisory revenue, underwriting fees, and investment management revenue, while also experiencing lower income taxes in the coming years. Despite some challenges related to higher compensation and non-compensation expenses, the overall financial trajectory suggests a strengthening position in the independent investment banking sector as the M&A environment improves in the latter half of 2025 and into 2026.
Bears say
Evercore's stock outlook is negatively affected by a declining compensation ratio, which fell by 30 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 65.4%, diverging from consensus estimates. This decline indicates potential pressure on margins amidst expectations for increased merger and acquisition activity, leading to forecasted compensation ratios decreasing further to 65.0% and 62.0% in 2025 and 2026, respectively. Additionally, Evercore is the only firm among its peers to report a lower compensation ratio this quarter, further signaling challenges in maintaining profitability.
