Raymond James misses fiscal Q3 earnings expectations due to a $58M legal reserve. On the other hand, trading and IB strength help lift revenues.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raymond James has reached a rare and remarkable milestone: 150 consecutive quarters of profitability, a streak spanning nearly 38 years. Announced in the firm's fiscal third-quarter earnings, the achievement reflects Raymond James' enduring strength, guided by a clear set of values and the steady leadership of Chair Emeritus Tom James, Chair Paul Reilly and current CEO Paul Shoukry. Since 1987, the firm has successfully navigated some of the most challenging periods in financial history — from the Black Monday crash and the dot-com bubble to the 2008 global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. Over that time, Raymond James has grown its annual net income from $9.6 million to more than $2 billion, while client assets under administration have surpassed $1.5 trillion. “When my father founded what would become Raymond James Financial in 1962, he built it on a simple but powerful idea: put clients first,” said Tom James.
Raymond James Financial's fundamentals remain strong, with higher AUM and resilient net interest income despite recent earnings noise from a one-time legal reserve. Client cash outflows and potential Fed rate cuts are key risks, but capital returns and a robust balance sheet provide meaningful downside protection. A strong Q4 is expected as rising markets boost advisory revenue and ongoing buybacks enhance shareholder value given excess capital.
I maintain a hold rating on RJF after evaluating the company's recent performance and its prospects over a longer time horizon. RJF's Q3 FY25 bottom-line miss was driven by a non-recurring legal-related reserve and the Capital Markets segment's weaker-than-expected growth. But the firm is well-placed to meet its FY2030 topline goal, taking into account the share gain potential for specific business units like Private Client Group.
