Mark Mahaney, Evercore ISI head of internet research, joins 'Power Lunch' to discuss Meta's recent settlement, what it means for the company going forward and much more.

Julian Emanuel, Evercore ISI’s chief equity derivatives and quantitative strategist, said on CNBC this week that megacap tech results this quarter were “breathtaking” and then said, “the other side of breathtaking is it is likely to be as good as it gets.” In the same breath, he told viewers to stay long on technology into 2027.

The tension resolves once you separate two ideas that usually get mashed together. Peak growth rate refers to the second derivative, meaning the rate of improvement.

Declining earnings would be a comment about the level.

Emanuel is talking about the former, and his own math on the record makes that explicit when he says, “even if we come off of these rates, you’re still talking of earnings growth that’s likely to be close to 20%, perhaps higher. And then, you know, potentially double digits next year as well.” That is a maturing cycle.

What Peak Growth Actually Looks Like In The Numbers NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) reported Q1 FY2027 revenue of $82 billion, up 85% year over year, with data center revenue of $75 billion and a $91 billion revenue guide for the next quarter, disclosed in the company’s SEC filing. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) closed FY2026 with Azure crossing $100 billion in annual revenue and growing 41%, and guided to roughly 45% Azure growth in constant currency for Q1 FY27. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) posted Q2 revenue of $119.80 billion, up 24.2%, with Google Cloud accelerating to 82% growth.

Comparisons get harder from here because the base numbers are enormous, and year-over-year rates will compress by definition. That compression is what a peak in growth rate looks like when earnings power is still climbing. NVIDIA trades at a forward P/E of about 25x, Microsoft at about 25x, and Alphabet at about 17x. None of that pricing requires the growth rate to keep accelerating. It requires the growth to keep happening.

The Stampede Is The Part Worth Sitting With Emanuel’s most interesting claim was structural. He said, “if you look at all structural tech driven bull markets over the last 25 or 30 years, they invariably end with a stampede.” The uncomfortable implication is that the most violent gains and the top tend to arrive together.

A reader who waits for confirmation that the melt-up is real will be buying into its final stage. Waiting for proof looks conservative but leaves you buying into the final stage of the pattern he describes.

Jensen Huang’s own language on the earnings call fits this pattern. He said “demand has gone parabolic” and pointed to a hyperscale CapEx forecast to exceed $1 trillion in 2027. Whether that is a real capital cycle or the acceleration phase Emanuel is warning about is unknowable in real time.

The peak growth argument is convincing because year-over-year comparisons are close to impossible to sustain, but I do not read it as a reason to reduce exposure. Watch the enterprise RPO figures at Microsoft, currently $678 billion, up 84%, and NVIDIA’s supply commitments, currently $119.0B, because those numbers would break first if the demand signal weakens.

The Options Trade And The Credit Signal Emanuel offered a specific tactic. He said, “with the VIX at 15, if you want to think into 2027, long term call options on the triple Q’s make a lot of sense.”

The VIX closed at 14.25 on August 14, 2026, which sits in the bottom 2.3% of its one-year range. Compressed implied volatility makes options premiums cheaper, so buying long-dated upside exposure costs less than it would in a normal volatility environment.

The logic is sound, although the instrument suits sophisticated investors more than readers approaching retirement, because a call option that expires out of the money results in a total loss of premium.

The credit observation is the one to end on, because it is the least discussed. Emanuel noted that “high yield spreads are near their tights simply because it’s sort of a forgotten part of the financing market, and investment grade tech, where all the demands are, are the areas that have widened.”

Investment-grade technology issuers, historically the safest corner of the corporate bond market, are the ones paying up. Alphabet raised roughly $70B in combined equity and debt for its AI buildout, and Microsoft’s calendar 2026 CapEx guidance is approximately $ 175 billion.

That borrowing is the reason those spreads have widened, and it is a cleaner tell on the AI cycle than any equity chart (we profiled seven of the power, cooling, and networking suppliers absorbing that spend in a free report on the AI buildout beyond the chipmakers). If those spreads keep widening even as high yield holds firm, the market is telling you the buildout is straining the balance sheets funding it, and that is the point at which the peak growth argument stops being an ordinary feature of a maturing cycle and starts being something else.

The 2026 stock market rally continues to defy gravity, steamrolling through macro challenges and driving Wall Street indices into record territory.

Still, Evercore ISI strategists led by Julian Emanuel believe the S&P 500 surge is not out of juice just yet; in fact, he believes the current multi-year bull run has “ample” runway remaining.

In a research report on Monday, Emanuel said the benchmark index could hit 9,000 by the end of this year, indicating potential for another 15% rally from current levels.

According to Julian Emmanuel, the primary catalyst for an extended rally lies in what is currently missing from the economic background.

Historically, structural bull markets meet their demise under “specific conditions” – an impending recession, an abrupt increase in long-end bond yields, or unhinged speculative mania across capital markets.

Emanuel argues that none of these late-cycle warning signs are present today.

Moderate interest rate expectations and strong corporate earnings – particularly across technology and semiconductor supply chains – continue to provide a resilient foundation for stock valuations.

Instead of exhaustion, the market setup is suitable for a classic FOMO-driven overshoot. Investors, eager to capture upside in an environment where cash yields are slowly diminishing, are leaning into stock derivatives.

Heightened call option appetite creates a “self-reinforcing upward loop” – as market participants purchase upside call contracts, market makers are forced to buy underlying equities to maintain delta-neutral hedges.

This accelerates momentum, propelling index levels beyond standard fundamental models.

Emanuel emphasized that the transformative AI surge of the 2020s has yet to reach the duration or valuation peaks seen in historical innovation booms, such as the 1920s electrification movement or the 1990s internet expansion.

With corporate balance sheets showing disciplined leverage, the financial system overall remains equipped to absorb further expansion, he argued.

The second pillar supporting Evercore’s bold target is the sophisticated posture of modern market participants.

Unlike the late 1990s dot-com bubble – where capital indiscriminately chased a narrow basket of unproven internet stocks, institutional portfolios in 2026 are demonstrating remarkable structural diversification.

Emanuel highlighted that a record 121 stocks have migrated to Evercore’s “Negative Beta” tracking list – names exhibiting an inverse statistical correlation to the S&P 500 over a trailing six-month window.

Prominent names on this list include defensive heavyweights and non-tech leaders like PepsiCo, McDonald’s, Kinder Morgan, CoStar, and Gartner.

The record expansion of this group suggests asset managers are actively running a barbell strategy: holding high-growth generative AI leaders on one side while maintaining robust allocation to low-correlation, steady-cash-flow stocks on the other.

Having digested the historical lessons of previous market crashes, institutional desks are managing risk dynamically at record index highs rather than engaging in concentrated, unhedged speculation.

Roger Altman, founder and senior chairman of Evercore (NYSE:EVR | EVR Price Prediction), made an appearance on CNBC on August 3 to argue that the stock market is absorbing every macro punch thrown at it.

As Altman said: “I just think the market is resilient. Look at the headwinds. It’s shrugging off the Iran war, energy costs, and now a little rise in interest rates or a medium rise in interest rates. But I don’t think those headwinds are enough to destabilize the market.”

The S&P 500 is up 11.11% year-to-date through August 3, 2026, and 21.87% over the past 12 months. The VIX sits at 17.09 as of July 30, 2026, comfortably inside the 15 to 20 “normal” band despite a March spike to 31.05.

Earnings Strength Is Driving the Market Higher Altman points to the majority of S&P 500 companies delivering monster earnings this quarter: “86% of the S&P 500 companies beat consensus. And there was another measure that it was the strongest quarter in five years,“ he said. That aligns with the BEA’s read on corporate profitability, which showed total corporate profits of $4,426.5 billion in Q1 2026, up 12.8% year over year, the highest quarterly reading on record. Manufacturing profits rose to $773.3 billion, and information sector profits climbed to $352.5 billion, both large jumps versus a year earlier.

Strong Consumer Spending Drives Earnings Strength Altman pointed to consumer spending as a driver behind the broad-reaching earnings strength: “Consumer spending was up 3.2%. There’s a measure called final sales to private domestic consumers up 3.9%. Capex very strong, centered around computer spending, but strong.”

Personal consumption grew 3.2% in Q2 2026, with goods spending running at 5.2%, even as the headline GDP number came in at 1.5%, dragged lower by a 11.5% surge in imports and a -0.8% government contribution. Total personal consumption expenditures reached $22.18 trillion in June 2026. Private domestic demand is doing its job.

AI’s $2.1 Trillion Question Remains Unanswered On the AI capex debate hanging over the S&P 500’s largest mega-caps, Altman split the difference. “I think AI is revolutionary myself, even more than a lot of people think. And if I had to bet, I’d say it’s going to be some big winners here. But there’s a lot of concern over the amount of spending and whether it can earn a good return. And there’s no way to know yet,“ he said.

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) Asset Management has flagged the same tension, noting hyperscaler capex has consumed roughly 95% of operating cash flows over the last 12 months versus about 80% in 2019, and that the five largest hyperscalers issued about $90 billion in credit markets through the end of October 2025. Vanguard’s outlook pegs realized and expected AI-scaler capex through 2027 at $2.1 trillion. Whether that pile earns its cost of capital is the multitrillion-dollar unknown Altman flagged.

Key Takeaways Altman’s argument ultimately rests on the strength of corporate earnings, consumer spending, and private investment. Those forces have allowed the market to withstand war, volatile energy prices, and interest rates that have remained higher than many investors expected.

Three variables will test that resilience next: whether third-quarter earnings can extend the current beat rate, whether massive AI investments begin producing measurable revenue for customers, and whether Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signals continued patience on additional rate cuts. As long as profits and private demand remain strong, Altman believes today’s headwinds are unlikely to destabilize the market.

Key Takeaways Evercore posted record Q2 adjusted net revenues, driven by stronger advisory, underwriting and commissions.EVR's AUM grew 12% y/y to $16.2 billion, supporting Investment Management revenue growth.EVR's expenses rose on higher compensation, non-compensation costs and non-U.S. tax-related charges. Evercore Inc. (EVR - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $2.91, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.02. However, the bottom line compared favorably with the prior-year quarter’s $2.42.

Results were pressured by higher expenses. However, growth in revenues from the Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management segments helped offset some of the impact. Additionally, the increase in assets under management (AUM) provided further support to the overall performance.

The results include certain non-recurring items. After considering this, net income attributable to common shareholders (GAAP basis) was $95.3 million, down from $97.2 million in the year-ago quarter.

EVR’s Revenues & Expenses RiseIn the second quarter of 2026, the company reported record net revenues (adjusted) of $999.5 million, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $993.5 million by 0.6%. The top line increased 19.2% from $838.9 million in the year-ago quarter.

Total expenses increased 23.4% year over year to $843.6 million. The rise reflected increases in employee compensation and benefits, and non-compensation costs, along with special charges related to an estimated loss provision for non-U.S. employment taxes for prior periods.

The adjusted compensation ratio was 63.5%, down from 65.4% in the prior-year quarter.

The adjusted operating margin was 19%, up from 18.7% in the prior-year quarter.

EVR’s Quarterly Segment Performance (GAAP Basis)Investment Banking & Equities: Net revenues increased 19.1% year over year to $966.9 million. This rise was primarily due to increases in advisory fees, underwriting fees, and commissions and related revenues. However, operating income declined 2.4% to $142.5 million from $146 million in the year-ago quarter.

Investment Management: Net revenues were $23.3 million, up 7.7% from the prior-year quarter. Operating income was $4.1 million, down 7.6% year over year. AUM was $16.2 billion as of June 30, 2026, growing 12% year over year.

EVR’s Balance Sheet Position StrongAs of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $1.3 billion, and investment securities and certificates of deposit were $1.1 billion. Current assets exceeded current liabilities by $1.9 billion as of the same date. Amounts due related to the notes payable were $540 million as of June 30, 2026.

EVR’s Capital Distribution ActivitiesIn the reported quarter, Evercore repurchased an aggregate of 0.3 million shares at an average price of $339.79 per share.

Our View on EvercoreEVR’s performance continues to benefit from broad-based revenue growth, including strength in advisory and underwriting activities, which drove record second-quarter revenues. Higher AUM and solid segmental revenue growth were other positives. Given the company’s strong liquidity position, capital distribution activities seem sustainable. However, elevated expenses remain concerning.

Currently, Evercore carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Performance of Other Finance StocksThe Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of $20.98, which topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $14.47. The metric also surged 92% from $10.91 a year ago.

Driven by robust client activity, GS posted record net revenues in Equities of $7.42 billion, which jumped 72% year over year, while fixed income, currencies and commodities revenues climbed 32% to $4.59 billion. Strong dealmaking activity lifted investment banking (IB) fees 55% to $3.40 billion, supported by solid growth in advisory, equity underwriting and record debt underwriting revenues.

Morgan Stanley’s (MS - Free Report) second-quarter 2026 earnings were $3.46 per share, which easily outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.89. The bottom line surged 62.4% from the prior-year quarter. 

MS results benefited from robust client engagement and strength in IB and trading activities. IB revenues climbed 58.2% to $2.44 billion. Advisory revenues increased 57.1% on higher completed merger and acquisition transactions, while equity and fixed-income underwriting revenues jumped 70.2% and 48.1%, respectively.

Evercore (EVR - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.91 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.02 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.42 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -3.64%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this investment bank would post earnings of $5.57 per share when it actually produced earnings of $7.53, delivering a surprise of +35.19%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Evercore, which belongs to the Zacks Financial - Investment Bank industry, posted revenues of $999.52 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.60%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $838.85 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Evercore shares have added about 0.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.5%.

What's Next for Evercore?While Evercore has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Evercore was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $3.74 on $1.11 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $19.64 on $4.86 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Financial - Investment Bank is currently in the top 9% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

One other stock from the same industry, Tradeweb Markets (TW - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on July 30.

This electronic marketplaces operator is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.96 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +10.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.4% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

Tradeweb Markets' revenues are expected to be $564.05 million, up 10% from the year-ago quarter.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evercore Inc. (NYSE: EVR):   Second Quarter Results Year to Date Results   U.S. GAAP Adjusted U.S. GAAP Adjusted   Q2 2026 Q2 2025 Q2 2026 Q2 2025 YTD 2026 YTD 2025 YTD 2026 YTD 2025 Net Revenues ($ mm) $ 990.2   $ 833.8   $ 999.5   $ 838.9   $ 2,381.8   $ 1,528.7   $ 2,401.0   $ 1,538.8   Operating Income ($ mm) $ 146.6   $ 150.4   $ 189.7   $ 157.1   $ 477.3   $ 261.6   $ 544.2   $ 273.3   Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Evercore (EVR - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 29. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis investment bank is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.02 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +24.8%.

Revenues are expected to be $993.52 million, up 18.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.02% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Evercore?For Evercore, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Evercore will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Evercore would post earnings of $5.57 per share when it actually produced earnings of $7.53, delivering a surprise of +35.19%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Evercore doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.

Evercore ISI’s latest "beaten‑down beat and raisers" call fits squarely into a broader thesis they’ve been building: earnings strength is still powerful enough to flatten the "wall of worry” and extend the bull market, even if leadership rotates.

NVDA stock is moving. See the chart and price action here.  Nvidia has lagged the hottest memory and AI infrastructure trades despite double‑digit year‑to‑date gains, while Alphabet has been penalized alongside other hyperscalers as investors balk at heavy AI capex and rising debt issuance. 

Netflix is digesting the fallout from its failed Warner Bros Discovery pursuit, trading more than 40% below recent highs, and Booking has been hit by geopolitics that clipped travel demand and knocked the stock by over 20%.

The Bet is on Earnings, Not ChartsThe contrarian bet rests on the earnings backdrop more than the price charts. Consensus is looking for another quarter of more than 20% S&P 500 earnings growth, which would mark a second straight period of unusually strong profit expansion, led again by technology and energy. 

FactSet and other trackers note that beat rates and magnitude of surprises remain above pre‑pandemic norms, even as investors worry that fewer companies will clear the bar this time. 

Evercore has responded by lifting its S&P 500 2026 EPS estimate by more than 6% and reaffirming a 7,750 year‑end target, with upside scenarios tied to ongoing AI investment and resilient consumer demand.

Emanuel has been vocal that this earnings season could "quell a rising wall of worry," particularly if banks and other early reporters confirm that profitability is running ahead of cautious expectations. 

The Nvidia‑Alphabet‑Netflix‑Booking basket is a direct expression of Evercore’s core view: in a market obsessed with AI bubbles, geopolitical risk and Fed policy, the next leg higher is still most likely to be driven by old‑fashioned earnings beats from unfashionable, fundamentally solid giants.

Investors with an interest in Financial - Investment Bank stocks have likely encountered both Evercore (EVR) and Moelis (MC). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors?

SEATTLE and WASHINGTON, July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sabey Corporation (“Sabey”) and National Real Estate Advisors, LLC (“National”) today announced that Ares Secondaries funds (“Ares”) have made a minority equity investment in Sabey Data Center Properties, LLC (“SDCP”), an owner, developer, and operator of data centers across the United States.

SDCP is a fully integrated data center platform jointly owned and governed by Sabey and National, acting as the discretionary investment manager on behalf of its institutional clients.

The investment also reflects the current strong demand for scaled data center infrastructure driven by cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and enterprise workloads.

“Welcoming Ares as an investor is a strong endorsement of SDCP’s platform, our team and the long-term demand we’re seeing for scaled data center infrastructure.” said Tim Mirick, President of SDCP. “With Sabey, National and now Ares aligned behind the business, we are well positioned to execute our disciplined growth plan and deliver the mission-critical capacity our customers need.”

“Sabey and National have built a longstanding partnership around this platform, and we’re pleased to welcome Ares as part of that continued relationship. This investment adds an additional institutional partner that aligns with and supports our disciplined approach to growing our data center portfolio,” said Jeffrey Kanne, President and CEO of National Real Estate Advisors.

“We are very pleased to partner with Sabey and National to support the next phase of SDCP’s growth. This investment reflects our conviction in the sector and the strength of our Secondaries platform in providing flexible capital solutions to leading real estate fund managers and operators. Through this investment we gain access to a quality existing operating portfolio leased to a broad set of predominantly investment-grade tenants, including a mix of large enterprises and hyperscalers, and a sizeable land bank to support continued growth,” said Jamie Sunday, Co-head of Real Estate Secondaries at Ares.

Evercore (NYSE: EVR) and Citizens Capital Markets & Advisory, a subsidiary of Citizens Financial Group (NYSE: CFG) served as financial advisors to SDCP on the transaction.

For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.

Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.

Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.

As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.

Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: Evercore (EVR - Free Report) Headquartered in New York, Evercore Inc. is a premier global independent investment banking advisory firm. Founded in 1995, the company operates from its offices and affiliates in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

EVR is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

Momentum investors should take note of this Finance stock. EVR has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 0.1% over the past four weeks.

For fiscal 2026, three analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.29 to $19.27 per share. EVR boasts an average earnings surprise of +30.2%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, EVR should be on investors' short list.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evolve Royalties Ltd. (“Evolve” or the “Company”) (CSE: EVR; OTCQX: EVRYF) is pleased to announce that, further to its previously announced binding letter of intent, it has entered into a definitive royalty purchase agreement with MinQuest Ltd. (the “Royalty Purchase Agreement”) to acquire a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty (the “Sunnyside Royalty”) on production from claims comprising the Sunnyside Project operated by Barksdale Resources Corp. (“Barksdale”) in Arizona, United States.

Pursuant to the Royalty Purchase Agreement, the total consideration to be paid by Evolve for the acquisition of the Sunnyside Royalty is $2.25 million, payable in two instalments comprising a mix of cash and shares, the first of which is a payment at closing of $0.5 million in cash and the issuance of 363,750 common shares of the Company at a price of C$2.92 per share (the “Issue Price”), having an aggregate value of $0.75 million, and the second of which is a payment to be completed by January 2, 2027 of $0.5 million in cash and the issuance of 242,500 common shares of the Company at the Issue Price, having an aggregate value of $0.5 million.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the coming weeks.

“The Sunnyside Royalty fits squarely within our strategy of acquiring high-quality royalties on base metal assets in top-tier mining jurisdictions. We view this royalty as particularly attractive given its location in a district that is seeing meaningful development activity. As Barksdale continues to advance drilling, we believe this royalty provides a cost-effective way for Evolve to participate in potential exploration success and long-term copper upside,” said Joseph de la Plante, President & CEO of Evolve.

A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

EVR is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. EVR has a Growth Style Score of A, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 32.4% for the current fiscal year.

Three analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.29 to $19.27 per share. EVR boasts an average earnings surprise of +30.2%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, EVR should be on investors' short list.
