Jefferies Financial's Stock Prices in Recovery, UBS Says -- Market Talk

09:29 ET -- Jefferies Financial's stock has already priced in a sharp rebound in advisory and capital-markets activity, says UBS analyst Michael Brown, who downgrades the stock to neutral from buy. The downgrade comes amid what Brown sees as limited upside after a 50% quarter-over-quarter rally. The analyst notes that the valuation now "appropriately reflects elevated advisory and ECM expectations." While Brown's 2Q EPS estimate jumped on stronger deal activity, he says his longer-term forecasts rose only modestly because a robust recovery is already embedded in consensus. With the "stubbornly gradual pace" of sponsor-driven M&A and lingering credit risks, Brown says "upside [is] limited at current levels, with much already priced into EPS." UBS upgrades the target price to $67 from $59. (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
