Evercore’s Growth Record Contrasts With Its Recent Share Decline

Evercore shares had fallen 7.9% over six months to $262.77 in a StockStory article, while the S&P 500 gained 21.4%. At 17:33 UTC on Sept. 28, shares traded at $262.86, down 0.02% since the previous close.

StockStory pointed to Evercore’s past growth as a counterpoint to the share decline. The publisher said revenue grew at an 11.6% compounded annual rate over the five years covered in its analysis.

The article also reported that earnings per share grew at a 62% compounded annual rate over two years. That outpaced the 33.9% annualized revenue growth it cited for the same period.

StockStory said Evercore averaged a 32.2% return on equity over five years, compared with an average of around 10% for the sector. The publisher described that figure as evidence of a competitive moat, an assessment rather than a company statement.

The article said Evercore shares traded at 13.3 times forward earnings at $262.77. Those valuation and performance figures reflect the article’s publication context; the latest available price was $262.86 at 17:33 UTC.
