Is Jefferies Financial Group stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Jefferies Financial Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Jefferies Financial Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Jefferies Financial Group's PEG ratio

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Jefferies Financial Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Jefferies Financial Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 54.98% of net profits
Recently Jefferies Financial Group has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Jefferies Financial Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Jefferies Financial Group's case, that would currently equate to about $1.55 per share.
Jefferies Financial Group's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Jefferies Financial Group's most recent dividend payout was on 25 November 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 November 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Jefferies Financial Group's shares ever split?
Jefferies Financial Group's shares were
split on a 1046:1000 basis on 16 January 2023
. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1046 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Jefferies Financial Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Jefferies Financial Group shares which in turn could have impacted Jefferies Financial Group's share price.
