The target lies 17.63 percent above the USD 66.31 NYSE price recorded at 12:49 p.m. ET on October 20, 2026. Stifel Financial was trading at EUR 58.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 6:41 p.m. CEST.
Results arrive October 21
Stifel Financial is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results before the US market opens on October 21, 2026. The company lists the conference call in its investor-relations release schedule, which identifies the event as a third-quarter financial-results call on that date. Stifel Financial published the schedule on October 14, 2026.
Recent earnings set the bar
For the second quarter of 2026, Stifel reported revenue of USD 1.45 billion and earnings per share of USD 1.42, versus the USD 1.33 consensus estimate. Revenue increased 13.00 percent from the prior-year quarter, while net margin was 16.11 percent, according to MarketBeat on October 17, 2026. The upcoming consensus calls for USD 1.44 earnings per share and USD 1.45 billion in revenue for the third quarter.
Price remains below the yearly high
The NYSE quote stood at USD 66.31 at 12:49 p.m. ET on October 20, 2026, while the 52-week range was USD 65.98 to USD 89.83 on the latest quoted session. The current price is 26.08 percent below the high and 0.50 percent above the low. Stifel Financial's market capitalization was USD 10.0 billion, with a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 8.53.
Valuation and next date
TD Cowen's USD 78.00 target gives the analyst view a concrete benchmark, but its Hold rating and the October 12, 2026 reduction from USD 84.00 show a more cautious stance than the target distance alone. The next scheduled company event is the third-quarter results release on October 21, 2026, followed by the conference call at 9:30 a.m. ET, according to MarketBeat.
What the target means for valuation
Stifel's second-quarter revenue growth and USD 1.42 earnings per share provide the operating benchmark for the next update. A result near the USD 1.44 consensus estimate would keep attention on whether revenue reaches the expected USD 1.45 billion and whether the 16.11 percent margin is sustained.
Stock stays near its yearly low
Stifel Financial combines wealth management, investment banking, institutional brokerage, research and banking services. Its financial-services profile gives the October 21 release greater weight than the current euro indication alone, because the report will update the earnings and revenue figures used in the current valuation.
