PJT Partners raises 2026 non-comp expense growth forecast to 14% as Taubman signals slower full-year revenue growth

PJT Partners now expects non-compensation expense growth of closer to 14% for 2026, up from its prior guidance of approximately 12%, as Chairman and CEO Paul Taubman indicated full-year revenue growth will moderate from the first half's pace. Chief Financial Officer Helen Meates attributed the higher cost outlook to elevated business-related expenses and continued investments in AI and technology infrastructure, while also announcing she will step down on October 1 with Arun Kalra elevated from Director of Finance to CFO. Taubman said all businesses are on track for record full-year performance but cautioned, 'I don't think we're going to grow 24% for the full year,' after the firm posted record second-quarter revenues of $486 million and adjusted pretax income of $106 million. The firm accrued compensation expense at 66.5% of revenues for the first half, which Meates said is the current best estimate for the full year, and reported $535 million in cash and equivalents with no funded debt. Restructuring activity is expected to remain elevated, and strategic advisory mandate counts are up more than 20% from a year ago.

Piper Sandler and PJT Shares Jump on Investment Banking Boom

Piper Sandler and PJT Partners saw their shares rise sharply in afternoon trading, driven by a broader surge in investment banking and trading revenues that fueled strong second-quarter earnings for major banks. Piper Sandler climbed 3.2 percent while PJT jumped 4 percent, as the market reacted to what JPMorgan's CFO called a booming environment for dealmaking. Advisory fees from mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings reached their highest levels since 2021, signaling the most bullish deal climate in years. Goldman Sachs also beat profit expectations partly due to increased dealmaking, lifting its stock and underscoring robust corporate appetite for transactions. PJT's move was considered meaningful by the market, though the stock has had only eight moves greater than 5 percent over the past year and remains down 2.8 percent year-to-date, trading 13.9 percent below its 52-week high.
