Factors Likely to Influence Evercore’s Q3 Results

Investment Banking & Equities: Global mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in the third quarter rebounded solidly from the lows witnessed in April and May following President Donald Trump’s announcement of “Liberation Day” tariff plans. Companies quickly adapted to the rapidly changing geopolitical and macroeconomic scenarios. They took advantage of a strong U.S. economy, optimism over potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and a more accommodating regulatory environment under Trump. As such, EVR is 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 $837.3 million, indicating a year-over-year jump of 41.2%.

Further, the IPO market in the third quarter performed impressively, with a significant increase in both the number of IPOs and the amount of capital raised. Several factors, including strategic tariff pauses and positive economic data, drove the rise. 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 $53.8 million indicates a 22% 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 third-quarter commission and related fees is pegged at $58.38 million, suggesting a rise of 7% 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 $22.95 billion in asset management and administration fees suggests a 7.1% year-over-year increase.

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