Piper Sandler CompaniesPiper Sandler shares rose 3.2% on the investment banking boom, with advisory fees at highest since 2021.
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.
