Truist Financial Corporation (TFC) Earnings Call Transcripts

Truist Financial Corporation's Latest Earnings Call - Q2 FY2026

In the second quarter of 2026, Truist Financial Corporation (TFC:US) reported a net income of $1.5 billion, or $1.23 per diluted share, reflecting a 37% increase year-over-year. Revenue increased by 5.5% compared to the same quarter last year, primarily driven by higher noninterest income, particularly in investment banking and trading.
