Ameriprise Q2 2026: Revenue Up 13%, EPS Beats on Record AUM and AI-Driven Productivity
Ameriprise Financial delivered a strong Q2 2026, with revenue up 13% to $5 billion and EPS up 22% to $11.07, beating consensus on both lines. Revenue growth accelerated from 11% in Q1, and EPS year-over-year growth quickened from 19% to 22%. AUM reached a record $1.8 trillion, up 14%, while wrap asset growth accelerated to 19% from 16% the prior quarter. AI-driven adviser tools are now quantifiably saving 30+ hours per week, and the back-office transformation is expected to complete by end of Q3 2026. The near-term headwind from Comerica adviser outflows (~$19 billion by Q3) is expected to be offset by the Huntington Bank onboarding (260 advisers, $28 billion in assets) in Q4 or early 2027. Management remains confident in technology investment, banking expansion, and capital return.

What changed
Revenue growth accelerated to 13% YoY (from 11% in Q1), reaching $5 billion and beating the $4.87 billion consensus by 3%. EPS of $11.07 beat the $10.81 estimate by 2.4%; year-over-year EPS growth quickened to 22% from 19% in Q1. AUM reached a record $1.8 trillion, up from $1.7 trillion in Q1, with year-over-year growth accelerating to 14% from 12%. Wrap asset growth accelerated to 19% from 16% in the prior quarter. AI adviser tools (e-meeting automation, meeting summarization) are now saving advisers 30+ hours per week, a quantified gain not disclosed in Q1. Back-office transformation timeline narrowed to completion by end of Q3 2026. Comerica outflows were quantified at approximately $19 billion by Q3, providing more specificity than the prior quarter.
Guidance delta
No formal forward guidance was provided, consistent with prior quarters. However, management indicated the back-office outsourcing transformation will be completed by end of Q3 2026, the Huntington Bank onboarding (260 advisers, $28 billion in assets) is slated for Q4 or early 2027, and Comerica adviser outflows are expected to total approximately $19 billion by Q3.
Key takeaways
- Revenue and EPS delivered double-digit growth with a strong fee and transaction mix.
- Record $1.8 trillion in AUM and 19% wrap asset growth reflect solid organic inflows.
- AI integration is driving significant adviser productivity gains, saving 30+ hours per week.
- Comerica adviser outflows are a near-term headwind; the Huntington Bank onboarding is expected to offset them.
- Recruiting remains aggressive, but management expects long-term profitability from new advisers.
Management priorities
- Complete back-office outsourcing transformation by end of Q3 2026
- Onboard Huntington Bank partnership (260 advisers, $28 billion in assets) in Q4 or early 2027
- Expand AI tools and adviser automation capabilities across the platform
- Launch active premium income ETFs and expand separately managed accounts
- Grow banking franchise with HELOCs, checking accounts, and pledge lending
- Grow remote advisory and succession programs

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
