Goldman Sachs Group is next with a forward earnings yield of 8.9%. Jefferies Group ranks third highest with a forward earnings yield of 7.8%.



Raymond James Financial follows with a forward earnings yield of 7.5%, and LPL Investment Holdings rounds out the top five with a forward earnings yield of 6.7%.
