M&T Bank beats Q2 estimates with $5.35 EPS, revenue up 5.5%
M&T Bank reported Q2 earnings of $5.35 per share, beating the $4.66 consensus estimate by 14.9%.
Revenue reached $2.53 billion, up 5.5% from a year earlier and 2.5% above the $2.47 billion analysts had projected. The Buffalo, New York-based regional lender posted net interest income of $1.79 billion, edging past the $1.78 billion consensus and rising 4.6% year over year.
Net interest margin held at 3.7 percent, in line with expectations. The efficiency ratio improved to 52.8 percent from the 55.2 percent analysts had forecast, a 238.6-basis-point beat. Tangible book value per share rose 4.5% year over year to $117.41.
The bank's non-interest income also contributed to the upside, while credit loss provisions declined compared with the prior year, supporting bottom-line growth. M&T did not disclose updated forward guidance in the release.
The 25% year-over-year jump in earnings per share signals improving profitability as the regional banking sector stabilizes after the deposit turmoil of 2023. Investors will watch the company's upcoming earnings call for commentary on loan growth trends and net interest margin trajectory through the second half of 2026.
