Stifel Reports January 2026 Operating Data

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) ST. LOUIS, Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported selected operating results for January 31, 2026, to provide timely information to investors on certain key performance metrics. Due to the limited nature of this data, a consistent correlation to earnings should not be assumed.

Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said,“In January, total client assets and fee-based client assets reached record levels, increasing 10% and 16% year over year, respectively, driven by market appreciation and solid net inflows. Treasury deposits rose 70% from the prior year, reflecting strong venture and fund banking deposit activity. Client money market and insured product balances declined by less than 3% from year-end due to seasonal factors, as growth in Smart Rate balances was offset by lower Sweep balances. Total bank loans declined by less than 1% during the month, consistent with typical early-year seasonality.”
