Revenue growth

Reviewing a company’s long-term revenue performance reveals insights into its quality. Any business can deliver a good quarter or two, but the best consistently grow over the long haul. Evercore’s 9% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was decent. Its growth was slightly above that of the average financials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.

Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. Evercore’s annualized revenue growth of 31.6% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand recently accelerated. Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.

This quarter, Evercore reported year-on-year revenue growth of 11.6%, and its $1.17 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s consensus estimates by 31%.

Key takeaways from Evercore’s Q3 results

Evercore’s wide revenue beat, alongside EPS above analysts’ consensus estimates, made this a strong quarter with clear positives. Shares surged 5.2% to $273.39 immediately after the results.

Evercore had a solid quarter, but one earnings result doesn’t necessarily make the stock a buy. That decision should take into account valuation, business quality and the latest earnings. For more on Evercore, read the full research report here (it’s free).
