Equal Weight

Reason

Morgan Stanley lowered the firm's price target on Jefferies Financial to $54 from $55 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares after the company reported EPS of 40c, which compares to consensus of 44c and a firm estimate of 39c. The quarter itself had some "pushes and pulls," with activity improving in May, who is lowering the firm's price target by $1 primarily on lower fixed income trading revenues. The firm expects stock action to be "choppy" today as the market digests the mixed quarter, the analyst added.

Equal Weight

Reason

Morgan Stanley analyst Ryan Kenny raised the firm's price target on Jefferies Financial to $55 from $41 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm, which raised its Midcap Advisors Industry View to In-Line due to improving market conditions for dealmaking, expects the pipeline to start moving again, driven by rapidly improving market conditions, regulatory clarity, significant pent-up demand, and structural drivers of M&A, the analyst tells investors in a group note.

Reason

Morgan Stanley analyst Ryan Kenny downgraded Jefferies Financial to Equal Weight from Overweight with a price target of $41, down from $75. Recent trade developments raise recession risk and the firm expects the M&A pipeline to be impacted by deteriorating market conditions and prolonged uncertainty for CEOs looking to do deals, the analyst tells investors.

Reason

Morgan Stanley analyst Ryan Kenny lowered the firm's price target on Jefferies Financial to $75 from $81 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Jefferies missed revenues across the board and its Q1 EPS miss is likely to weigh on shares as it provides "near-term fuel to market concerns" around the sustainability of an investment banking rebound, the analyst tells investors. While the firm is lowering its FY25 EPS view by 90c, or 22%, to $3.22, it views a light first half as a push-out as CEOs and PE sponsors digest the rapid changes related to tariffs, geopolitical developments and DOGE, the analyst added.

Reason

Morgan Stanley lowered the firm's price target on Jefferies Financial to $81 from $92 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The robust capital markets rebound the firm expected in 2025 is not playing out as anticipated and the firm is lowering its estimates for investment banking revenues on the back of recent market conditions as volatility likely pushes out deal launches. However, large-cap bank and mid-cap advisor stocks "appear oversold against our new base case," the analyst tells investors.
