BMO Capital lowered the firm’s price target on Jefferies Financial (JEF) to $55 from $69 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The stock was under pressure yesterday on combination of further credit headlines from regional banks and investor anxiety from its Investor Day, the analyst tells investors in a research note. BMO adds that while shares have pulled back dramatically, the risk remains “hard to quantify”.
