Oppenheimer Holdings (NYSE: OPY) Q2 2026 net income hits $27.4M
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. provided a second-quarter 2026 investor update, reporting total revenue of $454.9 million, up 21.9% year over year, and net income of about $27.4 million. GAAP diluted EPS was $2.38, while adjusted diluted EPS was $3.98, excluding liability-based stock appreciation rights and a $70 million cash sweep litigation settlement earlier in 2026.
Revenue growth was driven by investment banking revenue up 93.7%, higher advisory fees and commissions, partly offset by lower bank deposit sweep income. Assets under administration reached $154.7 billion and assets under management $59.4 billion at June 30, 2026, both at record levels. Despite strong quarterly results, GAAP net income for the first six months of 2026 was $6.8 million versus $52.3 million a year earlier, which includes a $70 million cash sweep litigation settlement and higher stock appreciation rights expense.
Positive
- 2Q-26 total revenue rose 21.9% year over year to $454.9 million, with investment banking revenue up 93.7% and advisory fees and commissions each increasing 15.9%.

5 terms
liability-based stock appreciation rights financial
"Non-GAAP measures exclude pre-tax expenses related to the mark-to-market remeasurement of liability-based stock appreciation rights"
bank deposit sweep income financial
"Bank deposit sweep income was $24,955 in 2Q-26, down 12.9% year over year"
Income from a bank deposit sweep is the small amount of interest a business or investor earns when idle cash is automatically moved each night into an interest-bearing account or short-term investment. Think of it like a smart piggy bank that funnels spare change into a savings jar that pays a little interest; it matters because it boosts cash returns, improves short-term liquidity management, and can slightly change reported earnings or cash flow for investors watching yields.
Regulatory Net Capital regulatory
"Broker-Dealer Regulatory Capital included Regulatory Net Capital of $444.8"
Regulatory net capital is the amount of liquid assets a regulated financial firm must have on hand after subtracting required deductions and liabilities so regulators can be sure the firm can meet short-term obligations. It matters to investors because it acts like a financial “safety cushion”: low net capital can signal higher risk of default or regulatory action, while healthy net capital suggests the firm can cover losses and keep operating.
Non-GAAP financial measures financial
"The Company included certain Non-GAAP financial measures within this presentation to supplement GAAP information"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
cash sweep litigation regulatory
"Adjusted EPS also excludes the $70 million pre-tax expense recognized in connection with the settlement of the cash sweep litigation"

Safe Harbor Statement This presentation and other written or oral statements made from time to time by representatives of Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. ("Oppenheimer” or the “company”) may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements may relate to such matters as anticipated financial performance, future revenues or earnings, business prospects, new products or services, anticipated market performance and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of the company’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the company’s control. The company cautions that a variety of factors could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the company’s forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2026 (the “2025 10-K”) and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 filed with the SEC on July 31, 2026 (the “2026 10-Q2”). In addition, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include those factors discussed in Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the 2026 10-Q2. Any forward-looking statements herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to all such factors discussed in the 2025 10-K, the 2026 10-Q2 and the company’s other SEC filings. There can be no assurance that the company has correctly or completely identified and assessed all of the factors affecting the company’s business. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the company in this presentation is based only on information currently available to the company and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. 2

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The tables on the previous slide reconcile our non-GAAP financial measures to their respective U.S. GAAP measures. The Company included certain non-GAAP financial measures within this presentation to supplement the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") financial information. Adjusted results begin with information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and such results are adjusted to exclude, or include, certain items. Specifically, we included non-GAAP measures that adjust the Company’s net income and earnings per share to exclude compensation expense related to the recurring, mark-to-market remeasurement of liability-based stock appreciation rights from net income and earnings per share because the period-to-period variability in this expense is largely driven by factors outside the Company’s direct control, including changes in the fair value of and underlying volatility levels in Oppenheimer Holdings Inc.’s Class A non-voting common stock price. The non-GAAP measures presented also exclude the expense associated with the settlement of the class action “cash sweep” litigation in the first quarter of 2026 because management does not view this as ordinary-course litigation for the Company given the nature of the claims and the manner in which the action was brought. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information for investors because they permit investors to view the Company's financial performance measures on a basis consistent with how management views the operating performance of the Company. These non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are also useful to investors when comparing the Company’s results across different financial reporting periods on a consistent basis. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, the analysis of the Company’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently, which may limit their usefulness for comparative purposes. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures included in these materials. 11
