Evercore (EVR) Q2 FY26 earnings call

Evercore delivered record second-quarter and first-half results, driven by broad-based strength across its advisory, underwriting, and wealth management businesses. The firm's robust client engagement and near-record backlog suggest continued strong performance, despite ongoing market uncertainties in certain segments. Strategic investments in talent and technology are expected to yield future growth, though they contributed to higher non-compensation expenses this quarter.
