|
“Northern Trust delivered another quarter of strong performance reflecting disciplined execution of our One Northern Trust strategy amid a constructive operating environment. Excluding notable items in the period, earnings per share increased 40%. Revenue increased 13% versus last year, supported by robust fee growth, healthy capital markets activity, and double-digit net interest income growth. Our progress against our strategic priorities helped drive an eighth consecutive quarter of positive organic trust-fee growth. Expenses were well controlled, and the Corporation generated more than 700 basis points of operating leverage for the second consecutive quarter. The Corporation returned over $1 billion of capital to shareholders in the first half of the year and its Board of Directors approved a $0.08 or 10% increase to the quarterly dividend at its meeting on July 21st, 2026. We remain focused on supporting our clients, advancing our strategic priorities, and delivering long-term value to our shareholders through sustainable financial performance across market environments as we enter the second half of the year.” | ||
