Broken: Primary pillar broken — Achieve EPS at or above $2.07 next quarter and $2.5 in Q4 2026: Q3 EPS $1.00 vs $2.07 target.
StoneX grows revenue strongly, up from $39B to $45.7B in one quarter. Profit beats show good earnings power, with EPS at $2.07 beating estimates by 39%. Cash flow improved sharply, from negative $1.26B to positive $2.8B, supporting growth. The company is integrating R.J. O'Brien well, unlocking synergies.
Revenue growth could slow below analyst expectations of 11% next year. EPS guidance is soft and uncertain, with low-end EPS of $2.07 next quarter. Cash flow gains may not sustain if market conditions worsen.
The stock trades about 23% above our fair value near $101, reflecting analyst expectations of 11% revenue growth. Our view is cautious given the soft EPS guidance and recent market pullback.
Breaks if: cash flow from operations falls below zero next quarter
Breaks if: EPS falls below $2.07 in 2026-Q3 or below $2.5 in 2026-Q4

This is not a price target or investment advice.
A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This investment represents a turnaround story with a focus on improving operational metrics. However, the current thesis state is weakened due to recent financial performance dropping significantly within its industry.
The market currently prices SNEX as cheap compared to its peers, reflecting a low expectations gap. However, this valuation may not fully account for the fragility in earnings quality and recent execution challenges.
Fundamentals may show mixed results in the near term. While revenue growth is strong in key segments, cash flow from operations remains volatile, indicating challenges in achieving consistent performance.
The long-term thesis hinges on management's ability to successfully integrate the R.J. O'Brien acquisition and maintain revenue growth. Additionally, the performance of sector bellwethers will be crucial in determining SNEX's trajectory.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Yes, our read has weakened. Recent financial performance dropped significantly in its sector. The reason to own SNEX has weakened. The company beat earnings expectations recently. However, the integration of the R.J. O'Brien acquisition may help growth.
