Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Investment Banking & Brokerage is in expansion. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — Maintain strong business pipeline: Pipeline momentum mixed: Q3 earnings beat vs target, but $6bn merger talks failed.
View ThesisRevenue is contracting — down about 21% over the past year.
View GrowthMiddle-of-the-pack management execution.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is highly volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 49% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskPWP's case rests on restoring business momentum through cost discipline and backlog conversion, after uneven revenue growth. Revenue grew 1% year over year in Q2 and 53% in Q3, with Q3 earnings beating target. It trades at 17× P/E versus a 17× peer median. The price reflects less growth than our forecast, despite recent revenue acceleration. The failed $6bn merger talks pressure the scale-through-acquisitions pillar. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 28%. Peer multiples imply a price about 19% above where it trades; the thesis is on watch. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-29. PWP is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

A consensus fair price across 7 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-10-29. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.

Around the middle on quality vs scored peers
A second lens on the 12-month fair value: for companies that score high on measured quality (profitability, balance-sheet safety, earnings stability), this read trusts more of today's profit margins instead of averaging them toward their multi-year history the way the headline number does. Shown alongside the fair value above, not in place of it. A diagnostic, not a price target or a buy/sell signal.
Direction of the business behind the multiple. Bands are backend reads; trailing-12-month basis.
