Piper Sandler and PJT Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know Weixin Lin Tue, July 14, 2026 at 7:19 PM EDT 2 min read GS PIPR JPM PJT What Happened? A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after a surge in investment banking and trading revenues drove strong second-quarter earnings for the big banks. Major financial institutions are benefiting from what JPMorgan's CFO described as a "booming environment" for dealmaking. Revenue from advising on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and initial public offerings (IPOs) surged, with fees reaching their highest levels since 2021. This uptick in activity signaled the most bullish environment for deals in years. For example, Goldman Sachs saw its profit exceed expectations, partly due to a pickup in dealmaking, which lifted its stock. This trend suggests a robust appetite for corporate transactions and capital raising across the market. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

PJT's shares are not very volatile and have only had 8 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 5 days ago when the stock gained 2.7% on the news that the company served as investment banker for STG Logistics in its successful financial restructuring while a UBS analyst raised the firm's price target on the shares. PJT was credited for its role in helping STG Logistics emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, a positive sign of its advisory business performance. The stock's rise was also supported by a price target increase from UBS analyst Michael Brown, who lifted his target to $162 from $160, though he maintained a Neutral rating on the shares. PJT is down 2.8% since the beginning of the year, and at $164.72 per share, it is trading 13.9% below its 52-week high of $191.42 from January 2026. Despite the year-to-date decline, investors who bought $1,000 worth of PJT's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,290.
