Houlihan Lokey shares are under pressure as investors react to a recent prospectus supplement for the resale of existing shares, stoking fears of more stock hitting the market and potential institutional selling. Those worries come on top of caution about the firm’s near-term deal activity and revenue outlook, leaving the stock weak even as broader indexes push higher.
Adding to the slide, major Wall Street firms including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have cut their price targets on Houlihan Lokey, flagging a softer deal-making pipeline. The stock is also being dragged by a broader shift away from parts of the financial services sector, making HLI one of today’s notable losers despite the upbeat market mood.
