Truist Financial Q2 2026 Earnings: Profit Beats Estimates, NII Outlook Lowered
Truist Financial reported Q2 2026 earnings that beat expectations, with net income of $1.5 billion and EPS of $1.23, up 37% year-over-year. Revenue rose 5.5% driven by a 17% jump in non-interest income and a 72% surge in investment banking and trading revenue. However, the bank lowered its full-year net interest income growth outlook to about 1-1.5% due to loan portfolio shifts, spread compression, and a less favorable deposit mix. Management emphasized a strategic shift toward higher-quality commercial and relationship-based lending while exiting less strategic consumer categories like marine, RV, and parts of auto finance. Asset quality remained stable, with a CET1 ratio of 10.9%. The bank expects return on tangible common equity above 14% for 2026 and continues its $5 billion share buyback plan.
