Stifel Reports August 2026 Operating Data

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported selected operating results for August 31, 2026, 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, “Total client assets and fee-based client assets reached record highs, increasing 12% and 17% year over year, excluding SIA, supported by strong recruiting and market appreciation. Treasury deposits continued to grow, increasing 7% month over month, underscoring the strength of our diversified funding mix and more than offsetting declines in client money market and insured product balances. For the third quarter, we anticipate that firm-wide net revenue will be essentially flat with the third quarter of 2025 as strong growth in our Global Wealth Management segment will offset a roughly 15% decline in our Institutional Group, which primarily reflects lower transactional revenue and a modest decline in investment banking revenue. That said, we remain encouraged by the robust pipelines across our Institutional Group and continue to expect strong segment results in the second half of the year.”
