Bank of New York Mellon Corp.

The firm reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.94 per share, up 28% from a year ago and above <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Street estimate of $1.76</a>.
Revenue rose 9% year over year (YoY) to $5.03 billion, topping analysts&#8217; forecast of $4.83 billion.

Fee revenue in the quarter grew 7% YoY to $3.641 billion. Net interest income rose 17% YoY, driven by higher-yield reinvestments and balance sheet growth, partly offset by deposit mix shifts.
Noninterest expense rose 4%, driven by higher investments, wage increases, FDIC adjustments, and a weaker dollar, partly offset by efficiency gains.
Provision for credit losses was a $17 million benefit, mainly due to reserve releases tied to commercial real estate exposure.
Assets under custody and/or administration rose 13%, driven by client inflows, higher market values, and a weaker U.S. dollar. Assets under management increased 3% as market gains and favorable currency impact offset cumulative net outflows.
The average deposit totaled $300 billion, up 5% year over year and 6% from the prior quarter. The Tier 1 leverage ratio rose 23 basis points yearly to 6.1%.
BNY returned $1.2 billion to common shareholders year-to-date, including $346 million in dividends and $895 million in share repurchases, resulting in a total payout ratio of 92%.
CET1 capital rose to $20.1 billion and Tier 1 capital to $25.5 billion as of June 30, 2025, driven by earnings and gains in other comprehensive income, partly offset by buybacks and dividends.
The CET1 ratio held steady at 11.5%, as increased risk-weighted assets offset higher capital, while the Tier 1 leverage ratio dipped to 6.1% due to higher average assets.
Liquidity and funding remained strong, with an average liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) of 112% and NSFR of 131%. TLAC ratios stayed above regulatory minimums.
BNY declared a quarterly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46410867/bny-declares-dividends" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dividend</a> of 53 cents per share, up from 47 cents. The dividend is payable on Aug. 7, 2025, to shareholders of record as of July 25, 2025.
&#8220;BNY&#8217;s ongoing transformation has significant momentum. Only one year after the launch of our new commercial model last summer, we delivered two consecutive quarters of record sales in the first half of the year. It is also notable that the parts of the company that were the first to transition to our platform&#8217;s operating model in the spring of last year have displayed faster delivery times, enhanced service quality, increased innovation along with greater efficiency,&#8221; commented Robin Vince, CEO.
Vince mentioned that the firm reported significant positive operating leverage, driving a pre-tax margin of 37% and a return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) of 28%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Outlook</h2>
BNY <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bny.com/assets/corporate/documents/pdf/investor-relations/earnings/quarterly-update-presentation-2q-2025.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">updated</a> its 2025 financial outlook, reflecting stronger first-half results and revised market-implied interest rates as of June 30.

Insights From Analysts:
Senior economist at WisdomTree, Jeremy Siegel, said that the public firms in the U.S. were beginning to quantify potential damage from tariffs, though these estimates remain based on previously announced rates, not the most recent escalation threats.
He highlighted that the official impact will start to show in the July data, but those numbers won't be released until August or even September. Investors will have to watch high-frequency indicators like jobless claims and credit card spending, in the meantime, he added.
&#8220;The real risk is that rising tariffs will continue to sap purchasing power just as economic momentum is already slowing. While I don't see a recession looming, growth is undeniably weaker than what we saw through much of 2024,&#8221; he added.
Meanwhile, the analysts at BlackRock highlighted two ways to capture alpha and earn returns in the market in their latest commentary.
&#8220;U.S. tariffs could intensify already elevated dispersion, making this a more rewarding environment for alpha,&#8221; their note stated.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>One way to capture that alpha? Reduce the potential drag from static factor exposures by deliberately managing macro risk.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Another approach to capturing alpha: avoiding macro factor risk in favor of security-specific risk.</li>
</ul>
The note thus added that &#8220;Dynamically managing macro risk and taking security-specific risk can help capture it (alpha). We eye selective global opportunities.&#8221;

10 Financials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Big bank earnings season kicks off Tuesday, July 15, with key industry heavyweight JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) and Wells Fargo Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) headlining a crucial reporting day for financials, as Wall Street eyes a rebound in quarterly profits fueled by stronger net interest income and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">healthy capital markets activity.</a>
Here's what to expect as the second-quarter 2025 numbers roll in before the bell.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bank Profits Growth Expected </h3>
Wall Street expects a strong quarter for major banks, with JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. forecast to deliver earnings per share (EPS) of $4.48 in the second quarter, a modest 1.8% increase from $4.40 a year ago. Revenue is projected at $44.17 billion, reflecting a pullback from last year's $50.2 billion.
Citigroup is expected to post more robust growth, with EPS projected to rise 6.6% year over year to $1.62 from $1.52. Revenue is also expected to improve slightly to $20.89 billion, up 3.9% from last year's Q2.
Wells Fargo is forecast to earn $1.40 per share, a 5.3% increase over the prior-year quarter. Revenue is expected to remain flat at $20.78 billion, indicating stable core banking performance despite macroeconomic headwinds.
BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), although not a traditional bank, is poised for a solid performance in asset management, with EPS expected to reach $10.80, representing a 4.2% increase over last year. Revenues are projected to be $5.34 billion, representing an 11% increase.
Other names in focus include Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BK#NYSE">BK</a>), expected to post EPS of $1.76 on $4.83 billion in revenue, and State Street Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>), which is projected to earn $2.37 per share on $3.35 billion in revenue—both reflecting ongoing resilience in custody and asset servicing segments.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Banks To Step Up Shareholder Returns</h2>
The positive earnings outlook follows banks passing the Federal Reserve's June stress tests with ease, prompting widespread dividend hikes.
The median dividend per share across major banks rose 7%, with standouts like Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) lifting its quarterly payout 33% to $4.00.
JPMorgan raised its dividend by 7% to $1.50 and authorized a massive $50 billion stock buyback program.
Citigroup boosted its dividend by 7% and continues its $20 billion multi-year repurchase plan.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Views: Where's The Opportunity?</h2>
Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden said Wells Fargo and Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) offer the best earnings upside for investors heading into 2026.
He sees Bank of America's net interest income (NII) growing 7% annually through 2026, outperforming large bank peers, driven by stronger loan growth, favorable asset sensitivity and lower deposit costs. "We view BAC&#8217;s current ~1.5x 2026E price-to-tangible book value as attractive," Ramsden said.
For Wells Fargo, the recent removal of its asset cap opens the door to deposit growth, capital markets expansion and cost savings. Ramsden believes these factors could boost earnings by as much as 19% and push return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) to as high as 17.3%.
Bank of America analyst Ebrahim Poonawala echoed bullish sentiment, saying the sector could see &#8220;positive EPS revisions and further stock re-rating&#8221; if capital expenditures and client activity pick up.
He flagged Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs as offering the best risk-reward among money center banks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's At Stake For Investors?</h2>
With the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) up more than 8% year-to-date, bank stocks have already benefited from a more stable rate environment and strong capital positions.
However, any surprises in loan demand, expense growth, or trading revenue could quickly swing sentiment.
Tuesday&#8217;s results will set the tone for the rest of earnings season and could determine whether banks still have room to run, or whether Wall Street has already priced in the rebound.
