Company Guidance
During Comerica Bank's second quarter 2025 earnings call, the company provided optimistic guidance for the remainder of 2025. The bank reported an estimated Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 11.94%, exceeding their strategic target of 10%. They experienced a 14% increase in earnings per share to $1.42, driven by a 3% growth in period-end loans and stable net interest income at $575 million.
