Analyst, Christopher Harris, said, "We consider RJF to be one of the best-run firms in financial services and we attractively view its low-risk private client focused business model. The recent acquisition of Morgan Keegan (MK) should act as a meaningful EPS driver near term particularly if the economic backdrop continues to improve. We have introduced FY2012/13 EPS estimates of $2.48/$3.05."
