PJT Partners Inc. Reports Record Q2 Results Amid Strategic Growth
PJT Partners Inc. reported record second-quarter results for Q2 2026, driven by strong performance in restructuring services and strategic advisory growth. The firm attributed its success to increased demand for liability management as companies navigate high leverage and financing costs. Private capital solutions (PCS) also contributed significantly to revenue despite a decline in primary fundraising activity. Management highlighted margin expansion due to top-line growth and disciplined cost control, even with ongoing investments in global operations and talent. The firm anticipates continued restructuring activity amid normalized interest rates but expects full-year revenue growth to slow from the 24% seen in the first half of the year. Non-compensation expenses are projected to rise by about 14%, reflecting increased travel costs and technology investments. PJT Partners also announced a leadership change, with Helen Meates stepping down as CFO on October 1, succeeded by Arun Kalra. The firm noted $35 million in revenue pull-forwards across eight transactions during the quarter, up from $21 million the previous year.
