Solid Investment Banking to Aid Evercore (EVR) Q1 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Evercore (EVR - Free Report) is slated to announce first-quarter 2021 results on Apr 28, before the opening bell. Its earnings and revenues are expected to have improved year over year.
Strong investment banking performance supported the company’s fourth-quarter 2020 results, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This was partly offset by higher expenses.
It has an impressive earnings surprise history. The company’s earnings surpassed the consensus estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, with the beat being 96.39%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s earnings of $2.63 has moved 19% upward over the past 30 days. Earnings estimates suggest substantial growth from the year-ago reported figure. Also, the consensus estimate for sales of $541.4 million indicates 25% increase.
Factors at Play
Higher Underwriting Fees: Given the low rates and the Federal Reserve’s bond purchase program, bond issuance volumes were solid in the quarter. Also, IPO activities remained stellar, and as companies continued to build liquidity amid solid equity market performance, there was a rise in follow-up equity issuances. These are likely to have aided Evercore’s underwriting revenues in the to-be-reported quarter.
Advisory fees to Show Strength: After an impressive second-half 2020 performance, the momentum in the deal making activities continued in the quarter under review as well on the back of extensive vaccination drives, a brighter macroeconomic outlook and lower interest rates. During the first quarter, the number of announced M&As jumped. Though the deal volume didn’t show much improvement, the total value of pending/completed transactions increased drastically.
Also, in light of the pandemic, many companies began business restructuring process with an aim to maintain profitability. This is likely to have boosted Evercore’s advisory fees.
Expenses to Rise: In order to build its segments, Evercore went on a recruitment spree, resulting in an elevation of compensation costs. Thus, costs are likely to have been elevated in the to-be-reported quarter.
Here is what our quantitative model predicts:
