Lazard shares came under pressure as investors weighed the risks of its latest expansion push, questioning the near‑term payoff from a major new deal. The stock slid even though management framed the move as a long‑term growth driver for its advisory franchise.
The bank agreed to buy private capital adviser Campbell Lutyens for about $575 million to create Lazard CL, a new global unit spanning private equity, credit, infrastructure and real estate. The combined platform is targeting roughly $500 million in revenue by 2027 and is expected to boost earnings from that year onward.
