What the filing says
Moelis reported Q2 2026 revenues of $409.4M (up 12% YoY) and H1 revenues of $729.2M (up 9% YoY), with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.63 and $1.13 respectively. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.65/share and repurchased 0.3M shares at $64.43/share in Q2; YTD returned $246.4M to shareholders. The firm hired 6 Managing Directors YTD across Private Credit, Securitization, and advisory specialties, with 6 more committed for later 2026; balance sheet remains strong with $481.1M cash and no debt.
Why this rating
Strong organic revenue growth (9-12%) and margin expansion are positive, but H1 net income declined 3-5% YoY on adjusted basis—suggesting profitability challenges masking by revenue gains. Talent acquisition and capital returns are modest relative to $4.6B market cap (~5.4% of capital returned YTD). Material but not trajectory-altering.
