PJT Partners has delivered a very strong 142.3% share price return over the past five years, yet the stock now screens as only fairly valued on an intrinsic value basis while still looking inexpensive on some earnings multiples and carrying a low overall value score. The 142.3% return over five years highlights how much of PJT Partners' earlier upside has already been realised, so fresh gains may depend on whether earnings and cash flows keep pace with expectations. Recent headlines around...
