Q2 FY2026 EarningsFY2026 Q2 results beat consensus on core profitability metrics: diluted EPS reached $1.37 vs. $1.35 expected, and Net Interest Margin (NIM) expanded to 3.48% vs. 3.44% expected. Total revenue (NII + Non-II) of $222.3M exceeded the $218.0M consensus, driven by a 39% YoY surge in non-interest income and effective deposit cost management. While pre-tax income (EBIT) missed expectations due to higher-than-anticipated operating expenses in salaries and technology, the net income of $92.2M surpassed consensus by 2.15%, supported by robust wealth management fees and equity gains.
