Action:Upgraded
Date:06/09/26
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial strength (strong profitability/ROE and improving leverage) and attractive valuation (low P/E). These positives are tempered by (1) a meaningful TTM financial-data consistency red flag that reduces confidence in the near-term run-rate, and (2) mixed technical momentum. Earnings call commentary was supportive overall, but NIM pressure and a specific C&I credit issue add risk.
Positive Factors
Deposit franchise expansion
Large deposit acquisitions materially strengthen Axos’s low-cost funding base, expanding FDIC-insured and retail deposits that support durable loan growth and margin stability. Scaling deposits via strategic deals reduces reliance on wholesale funding and bolsters long-term liquidity and lending capacity.
Negative Factors
TTM income consistency red-flag
A major inconsistency in TTM figures undermines confidence in the reported run-rate and complicates forecasting. Structural planning and capital allocation rely on consistent financials; unresolved reporting or classification anomalies raise risk around near-term earnings visibility.

Axos Financial Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 30, 2026
(Q3-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 05, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call highlights multiple strong operational and financial achievements: double‑digit growth in net interest income, EPS and deposits; robust loan originations and pipeline; strategic deposit acquisitions providing funding and liquidity; improving profitability metrics and disciplined reserving. Offsetting items include a meaningful sequential NIM decline driven partly by transient purchased‑loan effects and fewer days in the quarter, a quarter‑specific C&I credit loss that raised provisions and charge‑offs, and modestly higher noninterest expenses. Overall, the positives — including scalable loan pipelines, strong deposit growth, strategic acquisitions and solid capital/credit reserves — outweigh the contained headwinds, which management describes as manageable and largely idiosyncratic.Positive Updates
Double‑Digit Earnings and EPS Growth
Net income of approximately $124.7 million for Q3 FY2026, up 18.5% year‑over‑year; diluted EPS $2.15, up 18.7% year‑over‑year.
Negative Updates
Sequential Net Interest Margin Compression

Company Guidance
Management guided to low- to mid‑teens annual organic loan growth and said reported net interest margin should stay roughly flat on an organic basis (Q3 NIM was 4.57% vs. 4.94% in Q2, with FDIC‑purchased loan accretion now ~5 bps and an estimated ~5 bps deposit‑purchase premium impact), pointing to funding from the $2.3B Jenius deposit acquisition (conversion next month) and a pending ~$3.2B Capital One IRA/CD deposit deal; they reiterated a targeted allowance of ~1.3%–1.4% of loans, noted provision for credit losses of $41M this quarter (driven by a ~$20M specific C&I reserve), and a robust loan pipeline of ~$2.6B (including $611M SFR jumbo, $103M multifamily/small commercial, $83M auto/consumer and $1.7B commercial), while highlighting key quarter metrics to frame guidance: nearly $700M net loan growth linked quarter, $5.1B of investment originations (ex‑SFR warehouse), average loan yields of 7.23% (non‑purchased) and 12.39% (purchased), new loan rates ~6.9% SFR/C&I, 6.7% multifamily and 7.8% auto, noninterest income $86M (includes $22M legal settlement), noninterest expense ~$186M, diluted EPS $2.15 (+18.7% YoY), ROE >16%, ROA 1.8%, net charge‑offs 31 bps (8 bps ex one large C&I charge‑off), NPA 62 bps, ACL to nonaccruals 192.2%, and an expected annual tax rate of ~26%–27%.Axos Financial Financial Statement Overview
