Exhibit 99.1 COHEN & COMPANY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS Board Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.25 per Share Revenue of $69.5 Million Net Income Attributable to Cohen & Company Inc. of $3.6 Million, or $0.94 per Diluted Share Adjusted Pre-Tax Income of $10.1 Mi
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Traders can reassess COHN’s earnings power based on the reported revenue mix (investment banking strength, higher net trading) and cost pressures (higher compensation), while also pricing in the declared $0.25 dividend.
Market read
COHN’s Q2 print and dividend declaration provide a fresh, tradable datapoint for small-cap financials, but the filing lacks forward guidance.
What to watch
Adjusted pre-tax income is non-GAAP, and the equity-method affiliate loss dynamics (Columbus Circle Capital Corp II) may be volatile quarter to quarter.
Background
The company filed an SEC 8-K (Item 2.02) with Exhibit 99.1 reporting second quarter 2026 financial results ended June 30, 2026.
Ticker impact
Cohen & Company reported Q2 2026 results, including revenue of $69.5M, net income attributable to COHN of $3.6M, and a $0.25 quarterly dividend.
Mildly positive bias for the next session, with follow-through dependent on how investors weigh higher compensation and equity-method affiliate losses.
The filing provides concrete quarterly financials and a dividend declaration, but it does not include forward guidance or a new strategic transaction beyond referenced SPAC milestones.
Market effects
Boutique investment bank results can influence sentiment toward small-cap capital markets peers, especially around SPAC and de-SPAC activity.
Limited, primarily US small-cap financials sentiment.
Low, as the disclosure is company-specific and not tied to global macro or cross-border events.
Counterpoint
The quarter’s improvement may be offset by rising compensation expense and a larger loss from equity-method affiliates, which could cap optimism.
