Lazard US Views 2026/2027
Considering making the jump from my current role as an ASO
Interested to hear the view analysts/professionals (including current/fmr. bankers at the firm) on Lazard, whether that be:
(i) Lazard 2030 and execution on that front / are the new rainmakers boosting the firm? The timing of this restructuring seems to have hurt them a little bit, especially as their rivals had a killer 2025.
(ii) deal-flow across M&A primarily in their ability to win large cap mandates like Evercore/Goldman/Centerview
(iii) general view on "prestige" and what juniors / incoming analysts think of the firm. I plan on staying in banking, but in case another opportunity arises, how are exits?
(iv) perception on the RX / HC / Industrials groups (along with other groups like Sovereign Advisory) which have long been the predominant coverages that drove Lazard. I know Power is doing very well.
bump, esp on exits for aso & above
Lazard HC def improving, last year was horrendous but they on the up again
It is doing ok but it is not, and won't be anytime soon, at EVR/CVP's let alone GS' level in terms of perception or actual performance. That said, it is still a top firm
Any specific reason as to why?
