Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (JEF) is a financial company listed on the NYSE with a market capitalization of 10.8 billion dollars, and its financial data presents revenue, gross profit, net income, and earnings per share as the available core performance indicators. According to the provided data, there are no segment details published within the context about the revenue mix among specific activities, so an accurate analysis of the distribution of segments or products cannot be attributed. What can be measured directly is the company’s ability to convert revenue into gross profit and then net income, while tracking earnings per share across quarterly and annual periods.
In the latest available financial period, which is 2026 Q1, Jefferies recorded revenue of 1.5 billion dollars, gross profit of 1.4 billion dollars, and net income of 159.3 million dollars, with earnings per share of 0.70 dollars. Compared with 2025 Q3, revenue was also approximately 1.5 billion dollars, but net income was higher at 242.5 million dollars and earnings per share were 1.01 dollars, indicating pressure on quarterly profitability despite the stability of the reported revenue level. On a 2025 FY basis, revenue was 5.5 billion dollars, gross profit was 5.4 billion dollars, net income was 682.0 million dollars, and earnings per share were 2.83 dollars.
The main headline of the current picture is that news over 30 days included, on 2026-06-24, an item with an impact of 6/10 indicating that Jefferies’ earnings beat expectations for the year but disappointed analysts in the second quarter. Mixed news also appeared on 2026-06-23 and 2026-06-17 about strong earnings expectations on one hand and leverage challenges or mixed results on the other. Therefore, the current picture appears closer to a recovery in expectations with high sensitivity to the quality of quarterly earnings and the comparison of results with analyst expectations.
Jefferies’ valuation should be read against the Neutral analyst consensus and the average price target of 62.4 dollars, with the highest target at 83 dollars and the lowest target at 50 dollars. The data does not include a fixed real-time price that can be used in the text to determine whether the stock trades above or below the average target, and the P/E ratio is not available in the provided data. The 52-week range between 35.53 and 71.04 dollars shows that the average target falls within the annual range rather than outside it.
Figures in the text are as of 2026-06-26; the live price is shown at the top of the page.
The most important set of available figures is the 2026 Q1 results, where Jefferies recorded revenue of 1.5 billion dollars and gross profit of 1.4 billion dollars. Net income in the same period was 159.3 million dollars, and earnings per share were 0.70 dollars. These figures are important because they measure the level of quarterly profitability after fiscal year 2025, in which the company generated net income of 682.0 million dollars.
On 2026-06-24, there was a news item with an impact of 6/10 indicating that Jefferies’ earnings beat expectations for the year but disappointed analysts in the second quarter. This means the picture is not entirely negative, but it is also not enough to dispel all market concerns. In addition, the 2026-06-23 news item pointed to expectations for a strong jump in earnings despite leverage challenges, adding another reason for volatility in interpreting the results.
In both 2026 Q1 and 2025 Q3, reported revenue was 1.5 billion dollars, but net income was clearly different. Jefferies recorded in 2025 Q3 net income of 242.5 million dollars and earnings per share of 1.01 dollars, versus 159.3 million dollars in net income and earnings per share of 0.70 dollars in 2026 Q1. This comparison makes margin and earnings quality more important than the revenue number alone.
Automated analysis for informational purposes only — not investment advice.
Analyst consensus on Jefferies is Neutral according to the provided data. The average price target is 62.4 dollars, with the highest target at 83 dollars and the lowest target at 50 dollars. The wide range of targets reflects a clear difference in analysts’ estimates of the path of earnings and risks.
The insider activity signal is classified as neutral in the available data. Over the last 3 months, there are no mentioned purchases or sales, and the latest transaction is not available in the context. Therefore, insider activity currently does not provide numerical evidence supporting a positive or negative view on the stock.
One reason valuation is difficult is that the P/E ratio is not available in the provided data. Also, net income on a 2026 TTM basis does not appear, even though revenue during the same period was 5.3 billion dollars and earnings per share were 0.70 dollars. Therefore, the available analysis relies more on the 2026 Q1 results, the 2025 FY figures, and the average analyst price target of 62.4 dollars.
