Lazard (LAZ) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Lazard (LAZ) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Lazard Inc. has demonstrated a robust public pipeline growth of 8.2% compared to the end of the second quarter, significantly outpacing the peer average decline of 6.7%. The firm has also noted a positive trend in deal sentiment across geographies, with 3QTD announcements increasing by 32% in the U.S. and 26% in Europe year-over-year. Additionally, the company's acceleration in managing director hires positions it to meet or exceed its annual growth goal, indicating a strong future outlook for talent acquisition and operational capability.
Bears say
Lazard is facing a negative outlook due to expectations of a stalled M&A recovery, which could result in lower revenues and an increased compensation ratio compared to baseline estimates for 2026. Additionally, while there has been some improvement in sentiment towards international securities, underlying concerns remain regarding overall performance, particularly in Europe, after a lengthy period of underachievement. Furthermore, the company's asset management business, heavily reliant on equities, may encounter challenges in an uncertain market environment, impacting its future growth prospects.
