Q up, PJT M&A up, LAZ down, MOE up:
MOE better than PWP and Q and EVR gotta be at the top
Pwp ok but your a MOE glazer if you have it above Q
Should’ve used a comma lmao meant Q and EVR should be at the top
Congrats on PWP!

how the hell is PWP so high when their dealflow is worse this year than GHL or GUGG
Where did this narrative about PWP I keep seeing come from? They literally set a Q1 revenue record for the firm at $212m with 700 employees… that’s on par with EVR at $700m with 2200 employees ($/employee), and much better than MOE at $307m with 1300 employees or LAZ at $648m with 3300 employees.
I feel like there was one post asking about PWP deal flow a few months back and since then WSO has done a 180 in thinking PWP is lower tier now. I just don’t get the logic
Why are you coming to WSO expecting logic?
I think the discrepancy for PWP comes from their M&A deals v.s their RX deals. On the RX side they've done huge deals this year, FTX $20B, and Ligado ~$9B, both in Q1 which they no doubt collected massive fees from (RX fees tend to be much higher than M&A). On the M&A side they've done close to nothing in 6 months accounting for just over $1B in total transaction value YTD according to their website. So from an RX standpoint they're killing it (announced another ~2B+ transaction in June) but from an M&A standpoint $1B transaction value for 6 months is abysmal by any standard.
On a side note, GUGG's deal flow is not much better as they're ~3x bigger than PWP and have done ~$10B in M&A YTD according to their website which is also substantially low and GHL started off the year strong but hasn't done much in the last two months.
Swap PJT M&A with Laz and move up Moe a tier
