Advisory fees surged 61% YTD to $2.02B; underwriting fees jumped 76% YTD to $152M.

Why this rating
Strong revenue growth (56% YTD) and margin expansion are material but earnings-driven by transaction-fee timing, not structural change. Dividend/buyback ($823M YTD) is ~8% of market cap—meaningful capital return. Talent builds and operational metrics support momentum but quarterly fluctuations are inherent to advisory business.
