Q2 FY2026 EarningsQ2 FY26 results significantly beat consensus expectations across key profitability metrics, driven by robust Net Interest Margin (NIM) expansion and disciplined credit management. Revenue of $993M exceeded the $960M consensus, while Diluted EPS of $3.55 substantially outperformed the $2.74 GAAP estimate. Improving credit quality is evident as the net principal loss rate fell to 6.98%, supporting a $3M reserve release, while NIM reached 18.49% (vs. 17.71% YoY) due to pricing actions and lower funding costs.
