The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) implemented a sweeping overhaul of the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR)

As of January 22, 2026, the financial landscape is witnessing a historic shift. After nearly two years of mega-cap technology dominance driven by the artificial intelligence boom, the "Great Rotation" has finally arrived. Capital is flowing out of the overcrowded Silicon Valley giants and into the domestic-focused engines of the

As the sun rose over Manhattan on January 20, 2026, the financial district found itself navigating a paradoxical landscape of geopolitical tension and unprecedented corporate consolidation.

Shares of financial advisory firm Lazard (NYSE:LAZ) fell 3% in the afternoon session after the company reported that its preliminary assets under management (AUM) for November fell to approximately $250.8 billion, a 6.3% decrease from the previous month. The drop was caused by net outflows of $18.0 billion. A significant portion of this, $16.8 billion, resulted from the closure of a single U.S. sub-advised client relationship. This event was particularly concerning for investors because the company had previously expected this withdrawal to occur in 2026 or later. The earlier-than-anticipated loss of a major client's assets signaled instability and prompted a negative reaction in the market.

Lazard’s 20.2% return over the past six months has outpaced the S&P 500 by 6.8%, and its stock price has climbed to $51.32 per share. This was partly thanks to its solid quarterly results, and the run-up might have investors contemplating their next move.

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after investors grew more optimistic about a potential Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December. 

Lazard’s third quarter results outperformed Wall Street’s consensus for both revenue and adjusted earnings, but the market responded with a modestly negative reaction. Management attributed the quarter’s performance to robust activity in financial advisory, particularly across M&A in healthcare, industrials, and consumer sectors, as well as continued momentum in restructuring and fundraising mandates. CEO Peter Orszag emphasized Lazard’s ability to capture new business opportunities and highlighted the impact of strategic hiring, with 20 new managing directors joining so far this year. Meanwhile, the asset management division saw improved investment performance and record gross inflows, driven by quantitative, emerging markets, and custom mandates. Orszag noted, “Our commercial and collegial approach is producing results by capturing new business opportunities.”
