Nelnet’s Asset Generation and Management segment saw a rise in net interest income to $52.9 million, despite a decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding. The Nelnet Bank segment also experienced growth, with net interest income increasing to $12.4 million, driven by an expanded loan and investment portfolio. Meanwhile, the Loan Servicing and Systems segment faced a slight revenue decline due to changes in government servicing contracts, but this was partially offset by increased private loan servicing revenue.

Additionally, Nelnet announced a new stock repurchase program and a second-quarter cash dividend, signaling confidence in its financial stability and future prospects.
