Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Lazard has the largest geographic footprint among financial advisory-focused investment banks and is in a strong position when global M&A accelerates. The company is well-recognized for its expertise in restructuring, which provides some counterbalance in a recession.

Bears

While the company's restructuring revenue is countercyclical, the majority of its revenue being in merger advisory and asset management is procyclical.
