Frequently Asked Questions
What was Truist's net income for the second quarter of 2025 and how does it compare to the prior year?
Truist reported net income available to common shareholders of $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2025, a significant increase of 43% compared to $826 million in the second quarter of 2024. Diluted earnings per share were $0.90, up 45% from $0.62 in the prior year's second quarter.
How did Truist's net interest margin perform in the second quarter of 2025?
Truist's net interest margin remained stable at 3.02% for the second quarter of 2025, consistent with the same period in the prior year. This stability was supported by an increase in average earning assets, primarily driven by loan growth, and a decline in the average cost of deposits and short-term borrowings, which offset increases in the cost of long-term debt.
What is the current state of Truist's asset quality, and how is the allowance for credit losses trending?
Asset quality remained strong. Nonperforming loans and leases held for investment were 0.39% of loans and leases held for investment at June 30, 2025, down from 0.48% at March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses was $5.3 billion, and the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) ratio was 1.54%, down slightly from 1.58% in the prior quarter, reflecting robust credit management.
How did Truist manage its capital and return capital to shareholders?
Truist maintained strong capital ratios, with a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 11.0% as of June 30, 2025. The company returned $1.4 billion to shareholders in the second quarter of 2025 through $670 million in common stock dividends and $750 million in common share repurchases. Truist has $2.8 billion remaining under its $5.0 billion common share repurchase authorization through the end of 2026.
What were the key drivers of the change in noninterest income compared to the prior year?
Noninterest income increased significantly year-over-year, primarily due to the absence of substantial securities losses recorded in the second quarter of 2024 ($6.7 billion) related to balance sheet repositioning. Excluding these securities losses, noninterest income was down slightly (1.4%) due to lower investment banking and trading income, partially offset by higher other income driven by investments in solar and other projects.
