Is Raymond James Financial Stock Outperforming the Nasdaq?

Valued at $33.9 billion by market cap, Saint Petersburg, Florida-based Raymond James Financial, Inc. (RJF) operates as a diversified financial holding company. It provides asset management, banking, research, and other services to individuals, institutions, and government entities in North America and Europe.

Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks.” Raymond James fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding the threshold, reflecting its substantial size, dominance, and influence in the asset management industry.

 

RJF touched its all-time high of $174.32 on Jan. 29 and is currently trading 3.5% below that peak. Meanwhile, the stock has surged 15.6% over the past three months, outperforming the Nasdaq Composite’s ($NASX15.2% gains during the same time frame.

Moreover, it registered record net revenues and pre-tax income for the first nine months of the fiscal year. The company's topline for the quarter increased 5.3% year-over-year to $3.4 billion, exceeding the Street expectations by 1.1%. However, the company’s adjusted EPS for the quarter dropped 8.8% year-over-year to $2.18, missing the consensus estimates by 8%.

When compared to its peer, RJF has lagged behind State Street Corporation’s (STT14.2% surge in 2025, but significantly outperformed STT’s 34.6% gains over the past year.
