Moelis (MC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Moelis & Co has entered the second quarter with strong momentum, reporting "record new business origination" and a "record pipeline," which underscores the firm's growth potential. The company's revenue reached $307 million, exceeding expectations by approximately 3% and marking a substantial 41% increase compared to the previous quarter, with a revenue composition of about two-thirds from M&A activities and one-third from capital markets and restructuring. Additionally, the competitive dynamic in the investment banking industry appears favorable for Moelis, as the firm is expected to maintain positive recruiting momentum, attracting talent from larger firms drawn by its culture and economic opportunities.
Bears say
Moelis & Co.'s first quarter 2025 adjusted diluted EPS of $0.64 fell slightly short of both internal estimates and consensus expectations, signaling potential underperformance in its revenue-generating capabilities. Additionally, management noted a modest decline in the sponsor backlog due to several transactions being postponed, raising concerns about future advisory volumes amidst a challenging economic environment. The firm faces heightened risk of declining M&A activity and further revenue pressures if broader economic conditions worsen, including increased market volatility or interest rate spikes.
This aggregate rating is based on analysts' research of Moelis and is not a guaranteed prediction by Public.com or investment advice.
