Summary

Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2026, demonstrating robust growth across its business segments. Total revenue increased by 13% year-over-year, driven by a 15% increase in revenue from its Securities Services segment, a 12% increase from Market and Wealth Services, and an 8% increase from Investment and Wealth Management. Net interest income saw a significant 20% increase, primarily due to higher yields on investment securities and balance sheet growth, although this was partially offset by deposit margin compression. The company also announced a substantial 19% increase in its quarterly cash dividend to $0.63 per share, signaling confidence in its financial health and commitment to returning capital to shareholders. Assets under custody and/or administration (AUC/A) grew by 12% to $62.6 trillion, reflecting higher market values and net client inflows. Assets under management (AUM) increased by 6% to $2.2 trillion, also driven by market appreciation, though partially impacted by net outflows and a stronger US dollar. The company maintained a strong capital position with a CET1 ratio of 11.0% under the Standardized Approach, consistent with the previous quarter. Overall, the results highlight BNY Mellon's continued strength in serving global capital markets, with positive performance across key metrics and a favorable outlook supported by strategic growth initiatives and shareholder return policies.
