Jefferies Financial Group stock stood at USD 46.98 on the NYSE on September 23, 2026, down 0.87 percent for the session and 32.82 percent below its 52-week high of USD 69.93. The market capitalization was USD 9.56 billion.
Revenue grew despite an earnings miss
The latest reported quarter delivered a sharp revenue increase but weaker-than-expected earnings per share. According to MarketBeat, Q2 2026 revenue reached USD 2.21 billion, up 35.0 percent from the prior-year quarter, while EPS came in at USD 1.02 versus USD 1.16 consensus.
The comparison matters because the revenue expansion did not translate into an earnings beat. Jefferies earned USD 0.40 per share in the comparable prior-year quarter, putting the latest USD 1.02 result USD 0.62 higher even as it missed the current consensus estimate by USD 0.14.
September 28 sets the next checkpoint
Jefferies has scheduled its Q3 2026 results for September 28, 2026, after the market close, according to StockTitan. That date gives the next report a clear test: whether investment banking and capital markets activity can support revenue growth while improving earnings conversion.
Analyst expectations remain divided. MarketScreener reported on September 11, 2026, that UBS cut its price target from USD 65 to USD 61 while retaining a Neutral rating. The revised target remains USD 14.02 above the September 23 quote, a gap of 29.85 percent.
JEF remains below its yearly peak
Jefferies stock was trading at USD 46.98 on September 23, 2026, compared with a 52-week range of USD 35.53 to USD 69.93. The 0.87 percent daily decline keeps the near-term price signal weaker than the company revenue trend, making the September 28 earnings release the next measurable event for the shares.
