Transcript intelligence
What changed
The company highlighted progress on regulatory remediation, including closure of 13 regulatory orders, and provided a first disclosure of markets-business net-interest-income expectations. It also said 2026 share repurchases would be lower as investment and dividends receive greater emphasis.

Key takeaways
- Management described broad-based loan, deposit, and fee-revenue growth and a confident operating tone.
- The firm is targeting medium-term ROTCE of 17%-18% while reducing 2026 share repurchases after returning $23 billion in 2025.
- The 2026 plan combines expense discipline with $1.1 billion of technology spending, branch refurbishment, and expansion of markets financing.
Management priorities
- Maintain expense discipline while increasing technology investment

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.
