Funniest

seems comp going down has historically been commensurate with being the best bank. Congratulations Evercore!

 

PWP never had better exits than Moelis. Laz/PJT M&A/Moe get the same look for PE. You do know HHs and PE firms don’t care that much about deal size right? 

 
Most Helpful

judging by exits PWP should be 7, GHL 6, LAZ 5, and MOE 4 (maybe even 3 given the relative underperformance of CVP on that front)

 

Overall correct rankings but CVP/PJT average deal size is higher than EVR. Would put moelis 4 though 

 

Avg deal size is important but CVP exits are a bit weak compared to EVR/PJT

 

Avg. deal size is not that big of a factor for exits to be fair. Look at Moelis or Greenhill - They don't necessarily have the highest large cap deal coverage, yet exits are excellent year over year. On the other hand, firms like CVP or even PWP tend to have higher % of large cap deals (probably less so for PWP), yet their exits are more volatile 

 

Insane the amount of Moelis slander on this website lol.

All the Lazard / PWP / PJT kids trying to elevate their own brand. MOE gets better looks that almost all of these and pay is near the top too.

Sure, can be a bit of a MM shop in some groups but who cares for the scope of most people on this site (and I guarantee you MDs and group heads are still rolling in it).

 

moelis analysts and alums need to stop acting like victims.

there are just as many moelis slanderers as there are moelis shills on this website

Accurate?


Congrats on GHL | Mizuho

 

Center view from their website has done a similar amount of m&a in past few weeks as well.

$2bn GSK / Boston (only bc you listed)
$10bn Santander / Erste
$4bn Speingworks
$11bn QXO / Beacon
$5bn Zealand / Roche
$24bn Walgreens / Sycamore
Kenvue/ Starboard

Several other ~$1bn deals

Anecdotally exits are strong as well, and per capita likely outstrip Evercore. I caught up with a buddy from college last weekend and this class had 1/3 stay a2a, and several top PE (BCP, Carlyle, H&F (reneged), Veritas 2x, CD&R (reneged), TPG, Clearlake, Sycamore, GA, 26N), and a few doing different unique things.
