Houlihan Lokey Inc

Houlihan Lokey Inc

Houlihan Lokey Inc (HLI) is a specialist global investment bank known for advisory work in mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, valuation and capital markets. With a market-cap of around $13.6bn, it focuses on fee-based services rather than lending, so revenue depends heavily on deal flow and market activity. The firm often benefits from complex, distressed and cross-border assignments where expertise and sector knowledge command premium fees. Investors should know results can be cyclical: restructuring and distressed-advisory work may rise in downturns while M&A fees track broader economic confidence. The company’s balance sheet is generally light compared with banks, giving different risk dynamics, but competition and regulatory change are continual considerations. This summary is educational only and not personal investment advice β€” potential investors should assess their risk tolerance, review up-to-date financials and consider professional guidance before deciding.
