Description: RILY B. Riley Financial November 14, 2025
B. Riley Financial Inc. (NASDAQ:RILY) operates a diversified financial-services platform across six segments-Capital Markets, Wealth Management, Financial Consulting, Communications, Consumer, and E-Commerce-serving clients in North America, Australia, the Asia-Pacific and Europe. The Capital Markets arm delivers investment banking, equity research, asset management and direct-lending services; Wealth Management offers brokerage, insurance, tax and retirement planning; Financial Consulting provides restructuring and forensic accounting; the Communications segment runs NetZero and Juno broadband and VoIP services; the Consumer line sells computer accessories; and the E-Commerce unit manages client storefronts and marketing.
As of FY 2023, B. Riley reported revenue of approximately $1.5 billion and net income of $70 million, yielding a return on equity near 8% and a debt-to-equity ratio of roughly 0.6. The firm’s Capital Markets segment contributed about 55% of total revenue, reflecting the broader industry trend of heightened M&A activity and a modest rebound in equity issuances as interest rates stabilize. Additionally, the Wealth Management segment benefitted from a 12% year-over-year increase in client assets under management, driven by continued retail investor inflows into diversified portfolios.
