Former Hauck Aufhäuser Investment Banking Head Joins Cantor Fitzgerald as CEO of Continental Europe

Marc Osigus, former investment banking chief at Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank, has joined Cantor Fitzgerald as the head of investment banking for continental Europe. Osigus made the announcement on LinkedIn after Bloomberg News reported in June that a team of HAL bankers was considering a move to Cantor Fitzgerald. The move comes after HAL was acquired by ABN Amro in July, with expected cost and revenue synergies of at least €60 million per year before taxes from 2028.

Cantor Fitzgerald has increased its FY2026 earnings per share (EPS) estimate for Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ: OKTA) to $1.33 per share, up from $1.28, while maintaining an "Overweight" rating and a price target of $130.00 [1]. This upward revision comes amidst a wave of positive analyst reports and increased institutional ownership. Multiple brokerage firms, including Truist Financial and Evercore ISI, have also revised their ratings and price targets for Okta.

Okta reported its Q2 2025 earnings on August 26, with earnings per share (EPS) of $0.91, exceeding the consensus estimate of $0.84 by $0.07. The company's net margin was 6.08%, and return on equity was 3.31%. Revenue for the quarter was $728.0 million, up 12.7% year-over-year [1].
