NEW YORK, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lazard, Inc. (NYSE: LAZ) reported today that its preliminary assets under management ("AUM") as of April 30, 2026 totaled approximately $275.4 billion. The month's AUM included market appreciation of $13.2 billion, FX appreciation of $2.9 billion and net inflows of $0.1 billion.

Lazard lacks a durable competitive moat in investment banking or asset management, raising doubts about its ambitious growth targets. LAZ's business is highly cyclical, with recent revenue declines and volatile profitability tied to capital market activity. The company aims to double annual revenues by 2030, but its muted growth history and weak operating momentum make this target questionable.
