Lazard LtdNYSE: LAZ

Lazard has been hiring more aggressively than peers, and it's helped them bag a leading quarter. The private capital advisory business is performing well, not so much on transaction volume from PE but from activity in newfound markets like secondary fund-stake deals. Other than that, overall M&A has been strong, they say, particularly in Europe, and restructuring has also been delivering very robust results.

A rise in LAZ's operating expenses hurt its third-quarter 2024 results. Improvement in AUM balances offers support.

Lazard (LAZ) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.38 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.41 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.10 per share a year ago.

Investment bank Lazard's profit surged in the third quarter, driven by an industry-wide recovery in dealmaking.
