Why is Jefferies Financial Group Up Today?

Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:JEF) saw its shares decline today as mixed second-quarter results and a trimmed price target weighed on sentiment, even as the firm declared a new dividend.

  • Declared a $0.40 quarterly dividend (2.85% yield), payable August 29 to holders of record August 18
  • Q2 revenue of $1.63 billion slightly topped estimates, though EPS missed consensus
  • Elevated pre-earnings options activity reflects heightened investor interest ahead of results
  • Analysts at Jefferies maintained Buy ratings on Merck & Co. (MRK) and Avantor (AVTR), highlighting broader firm research
  • Second-quarter profit fell nearly 40% as weak equity underwriting and lower investment-banking revenues pressured results
  • Shares gapped down after EPS missed Street forecasts and expenses rose
  • Morgan Stanley cut its JEF price target from $55 to $54 and assigned an “equal weight” rating
