Moelis (MC) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Moelis (MC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Moelis & Co. has demonstrated a robust financial performance, reporting revenues substantially exceeding estimates, which signals a strong demand for its advisory services and underscores its market positioning. The firm is projected to benefit from anticipated growth in non-M&A businesses, particularly in restructuring (RX) and capital markets, positioning itself favorably for a rebound in sponsor activity as market conditions improve. Despite expected increases in expenses, both compensation and non-comp, the overall positive outlook for revenue growth in 2025 and 2026 suggests continued financial strength and viability for the company.
Bears say
Moelis & Co faces a negative outlook due to a potential dislocation between compensation expenses and revenue growth, primarily stemming from aggressive hiring practices that are expected to weigh on near-term profitability. The company reported a compensation ratio of 58.5%, which was below estimates, indicating concerns about cost management as they approach normalized compensation levels. Additionally, the risk of a recession could significantly impact mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity, further challenging revenue generation in the capital markets, despite a slight anticipated increase in restructuring volumes.
