Evercore Inc. stock (ISIN US30034W1060) is trading near USD 262.60, with investors weighing a solid set of Q2 2026 figures against a modest year-to-date decline as of September 18, 2026. Per data from a major financial portal on September 18, 2026, the shares closed at USD 262.60 on the New York Stock Exchange, unchanged on the day, while the trailing year-to-date performance stood at minus 4.52 percent.

Q2 2026 earnings show revenue growth and compressed margins

According to Yahoo Finance, Evercore reported Q2 fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 999.51 million and earnings of USD 95.28 million, implying a profit margin of 9.53 percent for the quarter. The same overview shows that the firm delivered earnings per share (EPS) of USD 2.91 in Q2 2026 versus an analyst estimate of USD 3.03, meaning reported EPS came in USD 0.12 below the consensus forecast.

In year-on-year terms, Evercore’s Q2 2026 revenue was up 19.1 percent compared with the prior-year quarter, underscoring that advisory and underwriting activity has grown even as the quarter’s margin remained in single digits. As MarketBeat summarizes, the USD 999.51 million of Q2 2026 revenue represents that 19.1 percent increase, while EPS of USD 2.91 missed the USD 3.03 consensus by USD 0.12.

Valuation and dividend profile ahead of next earnings date

The same data set from Yahoo Finance indicates that Evercore is trading at a trailing twelve-month EPS of USD 17.75, which translates into a price-to-earnings ratio in the mid-teens at the current share price. The portal also lists a forward annual dividend of USD 3.56 per share, corresponding to a dividend yield of 1.36 percent as of September 18, 2026, based on the then-current price level.

Dividend timing remains relevant for investors. As Yahoo Finance notes, the most recent ex-dividend date for Evercore shares was August 28, 2026, for a dividend that was payable on September 11, 2026. Looking ahead, both Yahoo Finance and MarketBeat list October 28, 2026 as the estimated date for the next quarterly earnings release, making that late-October update the next key checkpoint for Evercore stock.

Share price, 52-week range and market capitalization

Intraday data for September 18, 2026 show that Evercore stock traded in a range between USD 259.62 and USD 263.55 on the New York Stock Exchange, with the closing price settling at USD 262.60, per a trading overview from Robinhood. At that level, the shares ended the session roughly 1.1 percent above the intraday low and about 0.4 percent below the session high, indicating a relatively tight trading range on that day.

The same Robinhood snapshot values Evercore’s equity at a market capitalization of approximately USD 10.09 billion as of September 18, 2026. In addition, the price overview from Yahoo Finance shows a trailing 52-week performance that leaves the stock down 4.52 percent year to date as of September 18, 2026, a modest pullback considering the double-digit growth recorded in Q2 2026 revenue.

Stock remains tied to advisory cycle ahead of October earnings

For investors, the combination of Q2 2026 revenue growth of 19.1 percent and an EPS outcome of USD 2.91 that missed consensus by USD 0.12 highlights the sensitivity of Evercore’s profitability to deal mix and market conditions in advisory and underwriting. At the same time, a market capitalization of about USD 10.09 billion and a dividend yield of 1.36 percent as of September 18, 2026 position the stock as a mid-cap advisory franchise with a modest income component.

With an estimated next earnings date of October 28, 2026 and Q2 2026 profit margin at 9.53 percent on revenue of USD 999.51 million, the forthcoming update will show whether Evercore can sustain the double-digit revenue growth while narrowing the gap between reported EPS and the USD 3.03 consensus level seen in the last quarter.
