Summary · why it matters

Shares of Moelis and Lazard rose sharply in afternoon trading after major banks reported strong second-quarter earnings driven by surging investment banking and trading revenues. Moelis gained 4.4 percent and Lazard jumped 5 percent as JPMorgan's CFO described a booming environment for dealmaking, with M&A and IPO advisory fees reaching their highest levels since 2021. The rally reflects a broader bullish sentiment for corporate transactions, exemplified by Goldman Sachs beating profit expectations partly due to increased dealmaking activity. Lazard's move follows its recent role as financial advisor to Warburg Pincus on a 3.6 billion dollar private equity transaction involving a 130 million dollar investment in data infrastructure provider Oxylabs.
