How to read these bars and different assessments

Council is a separate blend of available disciplines; MoonshotScore above remains the five-pillar research rating.

Bars show each model's ordered assessment on its own scale, not a probability or a comparable investment return. The adjacent words give the assessment; more filled segments indicate a stronger model reading.

On Sep 10, 2026, the Munger lens read the price at that time as undervalued against its own estimate of value.

Readings on this page are from Oct 5, 2026, except a card that shows its own read date.

Watch the JEF film — every key number, told as a short cinematic story

~2 min · open the film

1 · What is it?

What is Jefferies Financial Group (JEF), and what does it report?

Short answer · as of

Jefferies sells advice, underwriting and market access to corporations and investors, then adds financing, securities lending, prime brokerage, research, wealth management and alternative asset management.

Research dated 2026-09-13.

Jefferies sells advice, underwriting and market access to corporations and investors, then adds financing, securities lending, prime brokerage, research, wealth management and alternative asset management. Demand therefore follows completed deals, issuance, client trading, financing balances, principal outcomes and assets managed—not merely the direction of equity markets.

Reported revenue combines investment-banking fees with interest revenue, commissions, principal transactions and other services. That mix makes the top line broader than the fee revenue of an advisory boutique, while the income statement also reflects the costs and balance-sheet activity required to support trading and financing.

2 · Latest results

What do the latest results show for Jefferies Financial Group (JEF)?

Short answer · as of

The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $3.41B.

Research dated 2026-09-13.

The latest reported period brought a broad sequential recovery: revenue, gross profit, operating profit, net income and diluted earnings per share all improved. The earnings release nevertheless fell short of market expectations on revenue and earnings, extending an uneven pattern of surprises.

The broader record is less clean than the latest rebound. Annual revenue advanced while annual net income declined, and operating cash flow has repeatedly swung between large inflows and outflows. For Jefferies, expanding activity does not automatically produce proportional profit or cash because advisory, underwriting, trading and financing contribute through different economic channels.

Sources (as of 2026-09-13): Quarterly income statement (USD thousands); Annual revenue and net result (USD millions); Reported versus estimated, last 8 quarters; Operating cash flow by quarter (USD millions); Revenue by segment; Business description

Where is operating spending going?

Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

USD. The operating result is the FMP-standardized value supplied by FMP; it may differ from a filing’s GAAP loss from operations when the provider classifies separately presented items differently. It is not net income or cash flow.

3 · Financial strengths and risks

What are the financial strengths and risks for Jefferies Financial Group (JEF)?

Short answer

Cash and short-term investments were $0.00 at the May 31, 2026 balance-sheet date. This figure does not establish a cash runway.

Research dated 2026-09-13.

Cash and short-term investments have risen from the recent low and now stand near the top of the reported series. They do not cover total debt, although the broader pool including long-term investments exceeds debt; most of that broader pool is classified as long-term investments without a more specific classification, so it should not be treated as equivalent to immediately available cash.

Leverage is substantial and conventional liquidity ratios sit below parity, which fits a balance-sheet-intensive capital-markets firm but still leaves exposure to funding conditions and asset values. Operating cash flow can reverse sharply as trading inventory, financing and related balances move, while annual profitability has varied considerably.

The dividend has remained stable across the recent payment record. Its durability ultimately depends on earnings and liquidity through market cycles, not on the consistency of the recent distributions alone.

4 · What to check next?

What should you watch next at Jefferies Financial Group (JEF)?

Short answer · as of

Current published price targets run low $50.00 · high $71.00 · consensus $58.17 · median $58.50 against a quoted price of $45.97 (as of Oct 2, 2026).

Research dated 2026-09-13.

Watch whether the scheduled earnings release extends the latest revenue and profit recovery while narrowing the gap between reported results and expectations. The forecast path assumes higher revenue and earnings, but the spread among longer-range revenue estimates expands, signaling declining confidence further out.

Within the mix, investment banking indicates whether advisory and underwriting activity is converting into fees, while principal transactions and interest revenue show how much performance depends on market activity and balance-sheet deployment. Operating cash flow and cash balances then reveal whether that activity is releasing liquidity or consuming it.

5 · Peer comparison

How does Jefferies Financial Group compare with its peers?

Short answer

Jefferies Financial Group's score ranks 7th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.

Research dated 2026-09-13.

Compared with advisory-focused firms, Jefferies has more earnings engines and more balance-sheet exposure: interest revenue, commissions, principal transactions, lending, securities finance and asset management sit beside investment banking. Compared with an asset manager, managed-capital fees are only part of the business rather than its defining output.

That hybrid can diversify revenue when deal activity weakens, but it also makes cash flow, leverage and margins harder to interpret through the lens used for a fee-only adviser. The relevant comparison is therefore the composition and capital intensity of earnings, not the capital-markets label by itself.

Jefferies Financial Group Financial Services Stock: Key Questions Answered

Research dated 2026-09-13; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 2 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.

Why does Jefferies operating cash flow swing so sharply?

Trading, financing, securities lending and prime-brokerage activities move cash through balance-sheet positions as well as through reported profit. Changes in those positions can therefore overwhelm the cash effect of net income in any reported period.

Sources (as of 2026-09-13): Business description; Operating cash flow by quarter (USD millions); Cash, investments and debt

How dependent is Jefferies on investment banking fees?

Investment banking is a major revenue source, but Jefferies also earns interest revenue, commissions, principal-transaction revenue and other service revenue. That breadth reduces reliance on completed advisory and underwriting mandates while adding exposure to trading, financing and asset values.

Sources (as of 2026-09-13): Revenue by segment; Business description

Does Jefferies’ cash and investment pool cover its debt?

The combined pool of cash and investments exceeds total debt, but cash and short-term investments alone do not. Because most of the broader pool consists of long-term investments without a more specific classification, the headline comparison does not establish immediate liquidity coverage.

Sources (as of 2026-09-13): Cash, investments and debt; Cash and investment components; Trailing twelve-month ratio set

What does Jefferies’ unchanged recent dividend indicate?

The recent payment record shows distribution consistency, but not a promise of future capacity. Variable profitability and sharply moving operating cash flow remain more informative tests of whether that consistency can continue.

The 27 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.

"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
