Bulls say / Bears say

Moelis & Company reported first-half 2025 revenues of $672 million, a 39% increase year-over-year, which outpaced the 26% annual rise in global M&A deal value and points to gains in market share amid a recovering environment (Investing.com) (Reuters).
The firm’s adjusted pre-tax margin widened to 17.6% in Q2 2025 from 8.3% a year earlier, proving greater operating leverage and better cost discipline as revenues have increased (Investing.com).
A well-defined succession plan lowers governance risk: founder Ken Moelis will become executive chairman, while co-founder Navid Mahmoodzadegan moves to CEO on October 1, 2025. This ensures continuity and rewards internal talent (Reuters).
Compensation costs surged 27% to $252.1 million in the first half of 2025 after an intensive hiring campaign for its private capital advisory business, putting pressure on margins if new hires do not generate sufficient business to offset spending (Financial News London).
Moelis has reported a shrinking deal pipeline since April 2 as trade-war tariffs weigh on client activity, indicating near-term headwinds for revenue, with some paused transactions unlikely to proceed soon (Financial Times).
Shares have fallen 36% from their post-election high, and UBS analysts have cut their 2025 profit estimates by 25%, showing that investors are skeptical about the sustainability of growth and profits in the current market climate (Financial Times).
