Stifel Reports October 2025 Operating Data
ST. LOUIS, MO, November 20, 2025 – Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported selected operating results for October 31, 2025, 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, “Total client assets and fee-based client assets reached record highs, increasing 12% and 18% year-over-year, respectively, driven by market appreciation and strong net asset inflows. Treasury deposits grew 35% over the prior year, reflecting the effectiveness of our venture and fund banking deposit initiatives, essentially offsetting declines in client money market and insured product balances. Bank loans rose 1% since September, supported by higher residential, securities-based, and commercial lending.”
