-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
TFC posted mixed Q1 2026 results with GAAP EPS of $1.09 vs. $0.87 in the prior year and $0.09 above consensus, while revenue of $5.2B met consensus but declined 2% Q/Q. Credit quality disappointed as net charge-offs rose 4 bps Q/Q to 0.61% and nonperforming assets increased 2 bps to 0.50%, an unfortunate turn contrasting with credit improvement seen at most peer banks reporting this quarter, in our view. Net interest income fell 3% Q/Q to $3.64B due to two fewer days and deposit client mix shifts, while net interest margin fell 5 bps Q/Q to 3.02% from loan repricing pressures partly offset by loan growth and lower deposit costs. Noninterest income remained stable at $1.55B with investment banking and trading income strength (+11.0% Q/Q to $372M) offsetting weakness elsewhere. Balance sheet growth showed positive momentum with average loans growing 0.7% Q/Q to $327B, led by commercial loan strength (+1.8% Q/Q) through C&I (+1.6% Q/Q) and CRE (+4.1% Q/Q) growth, while average deposits rose 0.7% Q/Q to $399B.
