Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. posted its third-quarter 2026 investor update, reporting revenue of $382.0 million for the three months ended September 30, down 10.0% from a year earlier, and GAAP net income attributable to the company of $5.5 million, down 74.9%. The company attributed the revenue decline mainly to lower investment banking revenue and reduced transaction-based commissions and certain trading-related revenue, partly offset by higher advisory fees. Investment banking revenue decreased 57.2%, while advisory fees rose 15.3% year over year.
For the first nine months of 2026, revenue increased 10.0% to $1,281.975 million, while GAAP net income fell 83.5% to $12.232 million. Adjusted diluted EPS, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.81 for the quarter, down 34.7%, and $9.97 year to date, up 28.5%. AUM was $59.6 billion and AUA was $153.7 billion at September 30, 2026; stockholders’ equity attributable to Oppenheimer reached a record $991.1 million.
The board announced a $0.20 per-share quarterly dividend, payable November 27, 2026, to holders of record November 13. The company reported no Class A stock repurchases in the quarter.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Filing Explained
The nine-month adjusted figure excludes settlement and stock-appreciation-rights expenses.
Oppenheimer posted its third-quarter investor presentation on
The presentation defines adjusted results as non-GAAP measures that exclude recurring mark-to-market expense for cash-settled, liability-based stock appreciation rights and the expense for the first-quarter cash-sweep litigation settlement; it also says these measures are not a substitute for GAAP results. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the reconciliation lists a settlement adjustment, stock-appreciation-rights expense, a negative tax impact, and adjusted net income versus GAAP net income.

Assets under Administration financial
"Assets under Administration ("AUA") ($B): $153.7"
Assets under administration (AUA) is the total market value of clients’ investments and accounts that a financial firm oversees for recordkeeping, reporting, and transaction processing without necessarily deciding how the money is invested. Think of it like a warehouse that stores and tracks other people’s goods: bigger AUA shows a firm’s scale, steady fee potential and client trust, so changes can signal growing business or client withdrawals that matter to investors.
Assets Under Management financial
"Assets Under Management ("AUM") ($B): $59.6"
Assets under management (AUM) is the total value of all the investments that a financial company or fund is responsible for overseeing on behalf of its clients. It’s like a big bucket that shows how much money the firm is managing for people or organizations. A higher AUM often indicates a larger, more trusted company, and it can influence how much money they earn and the services they can offer.

Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. Third Quarter 2026 Investor Update
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 September 30, 2026 filed with the SEC on October 30, 2026 (the “2026 10-Q3”). 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-Q3. 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-Q3 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 cash-settled, 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. Because these awards are remeasured each period, the amount of expense recognized primarily reflects movements in the Company’s share price rather than operating decisions made by management or the underlying performance of the Company’s businesses, and can vary significantly from period to period without a corresponding change in the Company’s operations. 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
