Adjusted operating margin expanded to 22.8% from 10.6% in Q3 2025, more than doubling in a single year. The firm is keeping more of each dollar of revenue as it scales.
The Gleacher Shacklock acquisition, which closed September 1, adds UK and European advisory capacity at a moment when cross-border deal activity is a meaningful source of fee events above $5 million. CEO Andrew Bednar noted the deal enhances the firm's ability to advise clients on their most complex transactions.
