Summary
State Street Corporation (STT) reported a robust third quarter of 2024, with significant year-over-year growth in total revenue and earnings per share. Total revenue increased by 21% driven by strong performance in fee revenue and net interest income. Diluted earnings per share saw an impressive 81% increase, primarily attributed to higher total revenue and a notable item in the prior year period. The company demonstrated improved profitability with a pre-tax margin of 28.4% and a return on average common equity of 12.0%. State Street also returned $674 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The company's Assets Under Custody/Administration (AUC/A) and Assets Under Management (AUM) both saw substantial increases, reflecting positive market conditions and net new business. The company's financial health remains strong, with stable capital ratios, including a CET1 capital ratio of 11.6%. State Street continued to manage its capital proactively through preferred stock issuances and redemptions, as well as senior note issuances. The provision for credit losses increased to $26 million, primarily due to concerns in certain commercial real estate and leveraged loans, alongside macroeconomic factors. Expenses increased by 6%, driven by business investments and performance-related costs, partially offset by productivity savings.
