Perella Weinberg Stocks Gains 85% Over 12 Months, Takes Out All Time High

Perella Weinberg Partners stock (NASDAQ: PWP) has continued it's hot streak over the last week, gaining 3.68%, to take the 12 month appreciation beyond 85%. The independent investment banking firm also achieved a notable financial milestone by reaching a new 52-week high (and all time-high) of $20.17 during trading before holding the $20 level in a close at $20.01.

52 week highs indicates a company moving into a strong phase, and the latest period for the financial advisory services provider highlights markets' confidence and the strength of momentum in its sails.

Equity analysts have resonated with the positive sentiment, conferring an “outperform” rating on Perella Weinberg Partners' shares but there has not been a notably reported shift, as the company continues on it's ascent.

Driving the bullish stance is Perella Weinberg Partners' impressive financial performance in the recent quarter. The company reported earnings figures that significantly beat on both EPS and revenue. EPS came in at $0.43 per share, which significantly outpaced the consensus estimates that analysts had pegged at $0.17 per share.

Further underpinning the strong earnings report was the company's revenue for the quarter, which came in at $272 million against the consensus expectation of $179.35million. This represents a remarkable year-over-year increase of 64.3%, indicating a substantial expansion in the firm's business activities and its ability to capitalize on market opportunities.

In addition to the favorable earnings and revenue growth, Perella Weinberg Partners also announced the payment of a quarterly dividend. Shareholders are set to receive $0.07 per share on September 16th. The firm's commitment to shareholder returns is exemplified by an annualized dividend yield of 1.40%, creating an attractive proposition for income-focused investors.

Earnings were backed up by some commentary from leadership that speaks to strategy and the record quarter.

“We delivered strong results, with revenues hitting a quarterly record for the Firm. We continue to execute on our scaling strategy through steady and deliberate investment in talent to increase our client coverage footprint and we are encouraged by the momentum across our business – our results reflect the combined impact of an improving market environment with the right coverage, product and geographic teams in place across our platform,”

Andrew Bednar, Chief Executive Officer.
