Insights

Stifel shows mixed May results with strong client asset growth but investment banking weakness amid market volatility.

Stifel's May operating results demonstrate solid momentum in its wealth management business while showing some pressure in investment banking. Total client assets increased by 8% year-over-year and 3% sequentially to $501.4 billion, with fee-based assets growing even more impressively at 13% year-over-year and 4% month-over-month to $199.1 billion. This growth trajectory reflects both market appreciation and successful recruiting efforts.

However, the firm's investment banking segment faces headwinds, with management projecting Q2 investment banking revenue to decline approximately 10% compared to Q2 2024 due to market volatility in April. While pipelines are rebuilding as markets stabilize, this weakness could impact near-term earnings.

The firm's lending portfolio showed 7% year-over-year growth but a 2% sequential decline to $21.2 billion. Meanwhile, client money market and insured products decreased marginally by 1% month-over-month to $25.8 billion, primarily due to lower Smart Rate balances.

These metrics reveal a company with strong wealth management growth counterbalanced by investment banking softness. The cautiously optimistic outlook for full-year 2025 investment banking suggests management expects improvement in the second half of the year, though market volatility remains a key variable to monitor.

ST. LOUIS, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported selected operating results for May 31, 2025, in an effort to provide timely information to investors on certain key performance metrics. Due to the limited nature of this data, a consistent correlation to earnings should not be assumed.

Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In May, recruiting and market appreciation drove a 3% increase in total client assets and a 4% increase in fee-based assets. Client money market and insured product levels decreased less than 1% during the month primarily due to lower Smart Rate balances as Sweep balances experienced a slight decline. Investment banking activity was negatively impacted by increased market volatility in April, but we have seen momentum increase and our pipelines build throughout the quarter as markets have stabilized. As a result, we anticipate investment banking revenue in the quarter to be down approximately 10% from the second quarter of 2024 but we remain cautiously optimistic for the full year 2025.”
