Read MoreHide Full Article
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Evercore (EVR - Free Report) . Shares have added about 11.8% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Evercore due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Evercore Q3 Earnings & Revenues Beat Estimates
Evercore reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.20 in third-quarter 2022, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.35. However, the bottom line was 44% down from the prior-year quarter.
While the decline in the net revenues of the Investment Banking and Investment Management segments affected the overall top line, a decline in expenses alleviated the bottom-line pressure. Amid a challenging environment, the company saw a decline in AUM.
On a GAAP basis, net income available to common shareholders was $82.4 million or $2.03 per share, down from $159.5 million or $3.74 per share in the year-ago quarter.
Revenues Decline, Expenses Fall
Net revenues decreased 30% year over year to $576.9 million in the reported quarter. Nonetheless, the top line surpassed the consensus estimate of $462 million. The decline was mainly due to a decrease in all revenue components other than commissions and related revenues.
Total expenses decreased 22.8% to $446.5 million from the prior-year quarter. The adjusted compensation ratio was 61%, up from the prior-year period’s 58.5%.
The adjusted operating margin was 23.4%, down from the prior-year quarter’s 31.5%.

In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in fresh estimates.
The consensus estimate has shifted -8.1% due to these changes.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of B. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
Outlook
Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Notably, Evercore has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
