Where OPY is headed

Oppenheimer in mid-2027 looks less like the sleepy boutique the market still files it under and more like a leveraged play on a middle-market M&A cycle that's been bottled up since the 2022 rate shock. Revenue growth running at 23% TTM isn't a one-quarter sugar rush. It's the early innings of a backlog converting, sponsor-backed sellers returning to market after three years of holding their breath, and a wealth management book quietly compounding fee-based AUM at high single digits while nobody pays attention. Price-to-book sits at 1.11. The business earns a 10.5% ROE. Those two numbers cannot coexist for long if the cycle holds.
