Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive

The call presented a broad set of positive operational and financial results — strong revenue and NII growth, robust loan growth, improving asset quality, record Global Markets performance, meaningful operating leverage and substantial shareholder returns. Notable near-term challenges include a modest deposit growth backdrop, the capital impact of an accounting change, ongoing expense and investment needs, rate-sensitivity risks, and regulatory uncertainties (including potential policy actions affecting card yields). On balance, the positive results, forward guidance (NII 5%–7% and continued operating leverage), and momentum across wealth, markets and lending significantly outweigh the disclosed challenges.

Company Guidance

Management guided 2026 NII growth of 5%–7% (Investor Day range) and said Q1 NII should be roughly +7% y/y (using Q4 as a base after a ~$100m markets shift and two fewer interest days), noting a 100 bps instantaneous rate cut would reduce 12‑month NII growth by about $2.0bn while a 100 bps rise would add ≈$700m; they expect $12–15bn of MBS/mortgage assets to roll off quarterly and be replaced at ~150–200 bps higher. On costs, Q1 expense is expected to be ~4% above Q1 ’25 and the firm targets roughly 200 bps of operating leverage for 2026 (vs. a 200–300 bps medium‑term range), after delivering 330 bps in Q4 and 250 bps for FY25. Credit guidance assumes continued stability (Q4 net charge‑offs $1.3bn; NCO ratio 44 bps, down 10 bps y/y; provision $1.3bn). Capital/other metrics: CET1 11.4% (vs 11.6% prior), supplemental leverage ratio 5.7% (vs minimums 5% and 3.75% under new rule), TLAC $467bn, tangible book $28.73 (+9% y/y), diluted shares down ~300m (−4%), Q4 capital returned $8.4bn ($2.1bn dividend, $6.3bn buybacks) and >$30bn for FY25 (41% higher), effective tax rate ≈20% for 2026, loans averaged $1.17tn (+8% y/y) with embedded mid‑single‑digit loan growth, and average deposits were +3% y/y with rate paid on deposits ~163 bps (consumer deposits ≈55 bps).

Strong Quarterly and Annual Profitability

Q4 net income of $7.6 billion, up 12% year-over-year; Q4 EPS $0.98, up 18% year-over-year. Full-year net income grew 13% and EPS grew 19% to $3.81.

Revenue and NII Growth

Q4 revenue up 7% year-over-year; full-year revenue around $113 billion, up 7%. Net interest income (FTE) of $15.9 billion, up 10% year-over-year.

Loan and Deposit Expansion

Average loans grew 8% year-over-year (Q4 loans $1.17 trillion, +$90 billion YoY); average deposits grew ~3% year-over-year. Loans outpaced industry growth and each loan category (card, mortgage, auto, home equity) increased YoY.

Operating Leverage and Expense Discipline

Generated ~330 basis points of operating leverage in Q4 and ~250 basis points for the full year driven by revenue growth and disciplined expense management; Q4 noninterest expense $17.4 billion, up <4% YoY.

Capital Returns and Shareholder Metrics

Returned >$30 billion to shareholders for the year (41% more vs prior year); Q4 capital returned $8.4 billion (dividends $2.1B, share repurchases $6.3B). Tangible book value per share $28.73, up 9% YoY; diluted shares reduced ~300 million (~4%).

Strong Wealth & Asset Flows

Global Wealth & Investment Management revenue $25 billion (up 9% YoY) and net income nearly $4.7 billion (up 10% YoY). Client balances grew ~$500 billion to $4.8 trillion; AUM flows and total flows were strong (AUM flows ~$82B; other flows contributed to combined firm flows cited at ~$115B).

Record Global Markets Performance

Global Markets delivered a record year: revenue $24 billion (up 10% YoY) and earnings $6.1 billion (up 8% YoY); Sales & Trading revenue (ex-DVA) up 10% YoY with equities trading up ~23% driven by Asia activity.

Improving Asset Quality

Net charge-offs $1.3 billion in Q4; total net charge-off ratio 44 basis points, down 10 basis points YoY. Provision expense of $1.3 billion largely matched charge-offs.

Digital & AI Progress and Productivity

Continued digital adoption (e.g., Erica, Zelle) and AI deployment; technology initiatives expanding (noted run-rate spend increases and initiatives). Reported internal productivity gains (example: ~30% reduction in coding time equivalent to ~2,000 FTEs saved) and several hundred million dollars of AI-related investment.

Forward NII & Operating Leverage Guidance

Management reiterated guidance of 5%–7% NII growth for 2026 (based on the implied curve with two rate cuts), and expects ~200 basis points of operating leverage in 2026; Q1 NII expected to grow roughly 7% YoY (with caveats).
