Q2 FY2026 EarningsFY26 Q2 results exceeded top-line and net income expectations, though diluted EPS of $2.36 slightly missed the $2.37 consensus. Revenue reached $995.7M, beating the $982.98M forecast by +1.29%, driven by robust Net Interest Income (NII) of $796.9M (+14.2% YoY). While Net Interest Margin (NIM) of 3.53% was marginally below the 3.55% consensus, the initiation of a deposit optimization strategy aimed at shedding higher-cost balances positions the bank for margin expansion in future quarters.
