Stifel Financial Corp. had decent results from pro-volatility businesses but even better results from businesses otherwise more threatened by the dealmaking slump. There may be some pause after Q1 in biotech depositories, but the decent market environment despite the Iran War may not threaten capital raising and industrial advisory too much. Growth should still be possible, though we wouldn't be surprised by some deceleration, even if overall dealmaking is supposed to have recovered, possibly driven by large tickets, though.
Stifel Financial (SF) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.45 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.39 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.33 per share a year ago.
The Value Plus Fund gained 4.95% in the first quarter, compared with the 4.96% gain for the Russell 2000 Value Index. For small-cap tech stocks, the first quarter proved to be quite strong, in part because this group had already suffered setbacks last year and, for the most part, valuations never got out of hand. One of the biggest detractors to our strategy's performance in the quarter was Stifel Financial.
