Jefferies’ profit more than triples on investment banking windfall

Live Mint  

Jan 8 - Jefferies Financial reported an over three-fold rise in fourth-quarter profit on Wednesday as the investment bank earned higher fees from deal advisory and underwriting activity remained strong. In the fourth quarter, the company's investment banking revenue soared nearly 73% to $986.8 million, while capital markets revenue rose 34% to $651.7 million. Bankers expect global deal volumes to surpass $4 trillion in 2025, the highest in four years, buoyed by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's pledge of less regulation, lower corporate taxes and a broadly pro-business stance. The New York-based bank's net profit attributable to common shareholders was $205.7 million, or 91 cents per share, for the three months ended Nov. 30.
