Piper Sandler Q2 2024 net revenues rise 17% to $339 million; EPS $1.97
Piper Sandler reported second-quarter 2024 net revenues of $339.2 million, up 17% from a year earlier but essentially flat from the first quarter. Net income attributable to shareholders was $34.8 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, compared with $2.43 in the first quarter, and the board raised the quarterly dividend 8% to $0.65 per share, which matters to shareholders because it increases the cash returned to them.
