About Jefferies
Jefferies Financial Group is a full-service investment banking and capital markets firm that was founded in 1962. After nearly 30 years of focusing on institutional trading services, it entered the investment banking industry in the early 1990s, which ultimately grew into the core business. In 2013, Jefferies merged with Leucadia, a manufacturing-focused holding company. Since the merger, Jefferies became the core of the combined business as the bulk of the legacy portfolio was sold off and the parent company was renamed to match the subsidiary. Within investment banking, Jefferies predominately serves the North American middle market and has captured considerable market share over the past decade.

What the Analysts think about Jefferies

Analyst projections of the future price of Jefferies stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Equities revenue hit a quarterly record of $626 million, up 29% year on year, as trading volumes increased and prime services expanded. A stronger equities franchise broadens earnings beyond advisory and underwriting fees. (SEC)
For the first nine months of 2026, net revenue grew 22% and earnings attributable to common shareholders rose 45% year on year. The improvement in overall profitability suggests the recovery is reaching the group’s bottom line, not just its headline business lines. (SEC)
Fixed-income revenue fell 26% year on year to $176 million in the third quarter, which Jefferies attributed to lower industry volumes. Continued weakness in this business would leave the firm more reliant on dealmaking and equities. (SEC)
Third-quarter revenue rose about 9%, but pre-tax earnings grew only 6% as compensation costs increased about 10%. This points to limited operating leverage: rising pay costs can absorb gains from stronger business volumes. (SEC)
