Jefferies Q2 Revenue Misses by $90M, Net Income Falls Short Despite Record Advisory
JEF sits 60% above its 52-week low of $35.53.
Summary
Jefferies reported Q2 revenue of $2.21 billion, missing analyst estimates of $2.3 billion, and net income of $226.23 million, falling short of the $306.37 million consensus.
