About Jefferies
Jefferies 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 merging, Jefferies became the bedrock of the business as the bulk of the legacy portfolio was sold off and the parent company was renamed to match the subsidiary. Within the investment banking landscape, Jefferies predominately serves the North American middle market and has captured considerable market share over the past decade.

Jefferies posted better-than-expected third-quarter results, with net income of $224 million ($1.01 per share) topping the $0.80 consensus, supported by record advisory fees of $655.6 million and a 20.3% rise in investment banking revenue to $1.14 billion (Reuters)
Japan’s SMBC plans to add ¥135 billion ($912.8 million) to increase its stake in Jefferies up to 20%, extend $2.5 billion in new credit lines, and establish a joint venture in Japan to advance equity capital-markets and trading operations (Reuters)
Jefferies reinforced its activism defense advisory by hiring Richard Thomas from Lazard as global head, expanding a profitable practice that meets rising corporate demand for protection against activist investors (Reuters)
Jefferies’ second‐quarter profit dropped almost 40% to $88 million, missing analyst expectations as equity underwriting revenue was cut in half to $122.4 million due to market volatility, highlighting weakness in its capital-markets unit (Reuters)
Although Jefferies beat third-quarter earnings estimates, its shares fell 1.6% in after-hours trading as investors remained cautious about the durability of its dealmaking recovery (Reuters)
Jefferies is ranked only 10th on Bloomberg’s Global Financial Advisers league table and lags behind larger competitors in major M&A and activism defense assignments, which could restrict its growth among leading advisory firms (Reuters)
