Revenue Growth

Examining a company’s long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years. Over the last five years, Perella Weinberg’s demand was weak and its revenue declined by 1.3% per year. This wasn’t a great result and suggests it’s a low quality business.

Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.

This quarter, Perella Weinberg’s $156.5 million of revenue was flat year on year but beat Wall Street’s estimates by 8.1%.
