Raymond James Financial Inc. (US7547301090) traded at $179.35 on August 18, 2026, with a market value of $34.49 billion and a 52-week high of $177.66. The shares finished the session down 0.07%, while the latest reported quarter showed earnings per share of $3.06 on revenue of $4.24 billion.
Earnings trend stays firm
TradingKey's earnings page lists the latest quarter as the period ending September 2026, with EPS of $3.06 versus a $2.91 forecast and revenue of $4.24 billion versus $3.87 billion. That means the company beat EPS estimates by 5.09% and revenue estimates by 9.45% in the most recent reported quarter.
The same page shows full-year 2025 revenue of $15.54 billion and earnings per share of 10.53, which puts the latest quarterly run rate in context. For investors, the comparison matters because the stock now trades close to its top-end range while earnings revisions across the wider market have stayed positive for five consecutive quarters.
Market backdrop matters
Investing.com reported on August 18, 2026 that Raymond James' own market-cap analysis found earnings per share revisions were positive across the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400 and S&P SmallCap 600 for a fifth straight quarter. The same report said S&P 500 earnings per share growth is projected to exceed 25% in 2026, even after tariff refunds are included in the calculation.
That backdrop helps explain why a financial-services name with a $34.49 billion market capitalization and a 16.61 trailing P/E can stay bid even when the daily move is small. The stock's 1-month gain was 6.53%, and its year-to-date gain was 11.68% as of August 18, 2026.
