Moelis & Company Slumps: MC Falls 6.9% in Session



Moelis & Company (MC) saw a big move last session, as the company’s shares fell by nearly 7% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This reverses the recent trend for MC as the stock is now up around 6% since Oct 23.

Although this slump was obviously disappointing, this global independent investment bank has seen 2 positive revisions and its current year earnings consensus has moved higher over the past few weeks. This suggests that the recent slump might be a temporary blip on the radar for MC. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if yesterday’s price decline is confirmed by more weakness, or if it can rebound in the weeks ahead.

MC currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is positive.
