Factors to Influence Evercore’s Q2 Results

Investment Banking & Equities: In the second quarter of 2025, global mergers and acquisitions activity turned out stronger than anticipated. Although financial markets dipped in early April following the announcement of sweeping tariffs by Trump, trade-related anxiety subsided as economic policy direction gained clarity. This paved the way for a recovery in deal-making activity toward the end of the quarter. As such, EVR is not likely to have witnessed significant growth in its advisory fee in the quarter to be reported.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for advisory fees is pegged at $557.3 million, indicating a year-over-year decline of 1.9%.

The IPO market in the second quarter of 2025 witnessed a meaningful rebound, with a notable rise in the number of new offerings and total capital raised. Several factors contributed to this resurgence, including strategic tariff pauses and positive macroeconomic data, which improved market sentiment and supported equity issuance. Further, global bond issuance volume was decent. Hence, given strong IPO performance, EVR’s underwriting fees are expected to have improved in the quarter on a year-over-year basis. 

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for underwriting fees of $34.1 million indicates a 10% increase from the prior-year quarter’s actual.

Given high trading volume supported by market volatility during the quarter, the company’s commission and related fees are likely to have improved. The consensus estimate for second-quarter commission and related fees is pegged at $56.92 million, suggesting a rise of 6.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Asset Management and Administration Fees: Given the favorable market conditions and sustained client inflows, EVR is likely to have witnessed a rise in asset management and administration fees. The consensus mark of $22.25 billion in asset management and administration fees suggests a 20.9% year-over-year increase.

Expenses: The company’s expenses are expected to have increased in the second quarter of 2025 due to increased employee compensation and benefits costs.
