Insights

Stifel delivered stronger revenues and earnings with record client assets and investment banking momentum, signaling a notably positive quarter.

Stifel reported net revenues of $1.43 billion and GAAP diluted EPS of $1.84 in 3Q 2025, up from $1.34 a year ago, with non‑GAAP EPS of $1.95. The firm posted record Global Wealth Management net revenues of $907.4 million, record client assets of $544.0 billion (up 10% year‑over‑year), and Institutional Group revenues rose to $500.4 million, driven by a 34% increase in investment banking revenue. These concrete metrics show revenue diversification across wealth, trading, and investment banking.

Dependencies and risks are explicit in the release: continued strength depends on sustaining investment banking deal flow, net new asset growth, and loan/deposit dynamics that affect net interest income. Expense ratios improved on higher revenue but provisions for credit losses rose modestly in wealth; regulatory capital ratios and ratings remained stable. The company also repurchased $31.2 million of stock and declared a $0.46 quarterly dividend, which supports shareholder return but modestly reduces capital flexibility.

Watchables include trends in total client assets and fee‑based assets (reporting periods through Q4 2025 may show momentum), investment banking pipeline realization and related fees into the next quarter, and credit loss provisioning given loan growth. Near term (next 90 days) focus is on quarter‑end asset levels and pipeline conversion; medium term (through year‑end 2025) monitor whether investment banking and transactional revenues sustain the elevated margins reported.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stifel Financial Corp.

These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. 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.
