Gekko Brief
AI summaryOct 12 closeLazard's week features its preliminary assets under management report for September 2026, showing approximately $284.0 billion, alongside a separate analysis flagging elevated downside risk and near-term neutral sentiment with signs of pause in mid and long-term weakness. The AUM figure follows a Q2 2026 call in which Lazard reported firm-wide adjusted net revenue of $786 million for the quarter and $1.5 billion for H1 2026, with Asset Management noted for record AUM and its best first-half net inflows in nearly 20 years.
Lazard closes at $37.05, down from its 50-day average of $40.60 and 200-day average of $45.18, with the 50-day below the 200-day. Shares have fallen 9.9% over one month, 14.6% over three months and 23.2% over six months, and sit nearer the 52-week low of $34.76 than the high of $58.75. The GekkoIndex reads 61.3, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone, while price sits 12.3% below the Gekko Fair Value of $42.23.
Lazard's next earnings report is set for 22 October 2026, before the open, nine days away and within a typical 20-trading-day holding period; the prior quarter's EPS of $0.12 missed the $0.34 estimate with a 1.8% reaction. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in the respective 90-day and 30-day windows, though one billionaire holder is recorded.
