BofA Reiterates Underperform Rating on Piper Sandler

BofA notes news reports that suggest that Piper Sandler (PIPR) has held talks to acquire Perella Weinberg (PWP), though this is unconfirmed by the parties. The firm believes such a transaction, if it materializes, "could make strategic sense," but adds that cultural integration is equally important and "the Street will likely need comfort that the 67 PWP advisory partners will stick around." A cautious outlook for Q3 performance, as well as limited comp leverage, leads the firm to reiterate an Underperform rating on Piper shares as it continues to see better risk/reward elsewhere in the group.
