Lazard stock has fallen 21% over nine consecutive trading days, erasing approximately $938 million in market value. The investment bank now stands at a market capitalisation of about $3.6 billion, with shares trading at $35.75 as of 18 September 2026. The decline appears company-specific rather than market-driven. Whilst Lazard dropped 20.6% during the streak, the S&P 500 fell just 0.9% over the same period. Lazard's fundamentals show mixed performance against sector peers. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 16.0 exceeds the S&P 500 financials median of 14.0. However, revenue growth of 6.3% trails the 10.2% median, and its operating margin of 11.1% falls well below the sector's 26.9% median.
