Oppenheimer analyst Chris Kotowski raised the price target on Jefferies Group (NYSE: JEF) to $58.00 (from $57.00) while maintaining a Outperform rating.
The analyst commented: "JEF's F2Q24 results were largely without surprise. Bottom-line EPS of $0.64 matched our $0.64 estimate (vs. consensus' $0.63E), as slightly higher than expected revenues roughly netted against higher expenses and effective tax rate. We, however, would note that these roughly in-line results more importantly convey continued positive momentum for JEF, as $739M of ECM, DCM, and M&A revenues rose 50% year/year and $691M of trading revenues grew 27% Y/Y. The one "surprise" in the print for us was rather a 17% increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.35/share (implying a ~3.0% forward yield), such that we view this increase as a signal of confidence in the run-rate ability of the Jefferies business."
