Insights

Stifel reports strong Q2 with rising revenues despite EPS decline; record client assets and advisor recruitment highlight growth momentum.

Stifel Financial reported its second quarter 2025 results with $1.28 billion in net revenue, representing a 5.4% increase year-over-year. This marked the third-best quarter in the company's history, demonstrating the effectiveness of their diversified business model. However, GAAP net income available to common shareholders declined to $145.7 million ($1.34 per diluted share) from $156.0 million ($1.41 per diluted share) in Q2 2024.

Looking at non-GAAP metrics, which exclude certain charges, the company actually improved performance with non-GAAP EPS rising to $1.71 from $1.60 in the prior year. The divergence between GAAP and non-GAAP results suggests one-time items impacted reported earnings.

By segment, Global Wealth Management performed well with net revenues of $845.6 million, up 6% year-over-year. This division benefited from 6% higher asset management revenues, 8% growth in net interest income, and 3% growth in transactional revenues. The segment achieved record client assets of $516.5 billion, a 9% increase year-over-year.

The Institutional Group showed strong improvement with revenues increasing 7.4% to $419.8 million and pre-tax income jumping 25% to $61.0 million. Fixed income transactional revenues were particularly strong, rising 21%, while equity transactional revenues increased 16%.

Capital allocation remained shareholder-friendly with $83 million in share repurchases during the quarter and a quarterly dividend of $0.46 per share. The company's capital position remains solid with a Tier 1 common capital ratio of 14.5%.

A significant highlight was the addition of 82 financial advisors during the quarter, including 36 experienced advisors from B. Riley, which the company described as its strongest recruiting quarter in 10 years. This advisor growth, combined with higher fee-based assets (15% year-over-year increase) positions Stifel well for future growth in recurring revenues.

The 8% increase in net interest income despite a lower interest rate environment demonstrates effective balance sheet management, though changes in deposit mix partially offset growth. The company's ability to generate higher transactional revenues (11% increase) in the quarter also speaks to its diverse revenue streams.

ST. LOUIS, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported net revenues of $1.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $1.2 billion a year ago. Net income available to common shareholders was $145.7 million, or $1.34 per diluted common share, compared with $156.0 million, or $1.41 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders was $185.6 million, or $1.71 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2025.

Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “We achieved the best second quarter in our history, generating over $1.28 billion in net revenue and $1.71 in core EPS despite a challenging April. These results reflect the strength of our diversified, advice-driven model and the consistency of our performance across market cycles. With our strongest financial advisor recruiting quarter in 10 years, growing momentum in our Institutional business, and continued progress in key growth areas, we are confident about the second half of the year and beyond.”

Highlights

Whenever the Company refers to a non-GAAP financial measure, it will also define it or present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure it references and such comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
