Lazard stock drops 21% over 9 consecutive days, wiping out $938M in market value

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.

Grandview Property Partners appoints Evan Abrams as business leader.

Grandview Property Partners appoints Evan Abrams as business leader. GREENWICH, Conn., Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Grandview Property Partners ("Grandview") today announced that Evan Abrams has joined as managing director and business leader. In this role, Mr. Abrams will be responsible for supporting the continued growth and capital formation of Grandview's private real estate business. Mr. Abrams brings more than 20 years of real estate experience spanning capital formation, investor relations, investments, asset management and lending. Most recently, he served as managing director and co-head of Global Equity Capital Markets and Investor Relations at Madison International Realty. He is based in Grandview's Connecticut office. Previously, Mr. Abrams was a director at Lazard, where he co-led the US Real Estate and Real Assets Advisory business within the firm's Private Capital Advisory group. Earlier in his career, he held real estate investment and capital formation roles at Hunt Capital Holdings, Hodes Weill & Associates, Centaur Properties, Credit Suisse and SunTrust Bank. He holds a bachelor's degree in finance from the University of Richmond and a master's degree in business administration in real estate from Columbia Business School. "Evan brings exactly the combination of real estate expertise, institutional relationships and business development experience we were looking for," said Raj Menon, chief executive officer of Grandview. "As we continue to grow Grandview within the Artisan Partners multi-asset platform, Evan will be an important partner as we capitalize on the broader resources and global distribution capabilities now available to us. We are pleased to have him join our team at an exciting juncture in Grandview's evolution." Artisan Partners ("Artisan") completed its acquisition of Grandview in January 2026. Consistent with Artisan's business model, Grandview operates as an autonomous investment franchise, combining decades of real estate investment experience with Artisan's institutional resources, global distribution capabilities and operating infrastructure. Grandview remains focused on its longstanding approach to middle-market real estate, investing dynamically across targeted North American growth markets and sectors, with an emphasis on industrial, residential, powered land and special situations. Grandview has raised three discretionary closed-end draw-down funds, along with associated co-investment vehicles. Fund III was raised while Grandview was engaged in discussions regarding its combination with Artisan. In keeping with Artisan's model of aligned interests and thoughtful growth, we elected not to extend the Fund III fundraising period or seek additional capital, focusing instead on the transaction and the long-term opportunity to grow the franchise as part of Artisan. "When we entered into our partnership with Artisan, we saw an opportunity to pair Grandview's specialized investment capabilities with Artisan's institutional resources and global distribution heft," Mr. Menon added. "The integration has progressed exactly as we envisioned, while preserving the investment autonomy and culture that are fundamental to Grandview. Evan's addition is another example of Artisan's investment in the long-term growth of our business." Mr. Abrams commented, "I have tremendous respect for the long-tenured investment partnership of the Grandview team and the strong results the company has generated for clients. I am excited for the compelling opportunities ahead and look forward to being a part of Grandview's next phase of growth."
