Jefferies Financial Group (JEF) has been active in the bond market, announcing new fixed income offerings that include 6.00% notes due 2030, floating rate notes due 2028, and 7.00% notes maturing in 2041.
Jefferies Financial Group has seen its share price fall 24.87% year to date, including a drop of 10.26% over the past month, even though the 3 year total shareholder return of 41.47% and 5 year total shareholder return of 53.08% point to a stronger longer term record. As a result, recent bond issuance may be landing against fading short term momentum and a reassessment of risk.
