What's in this note? Research Analyst

+1-212-250-5881 In early June, mgmt. discussed intra-qtr trends. Post these comments and a

follow-up call with mgmt., we update our earnings model.

▪ Our 2Q26 adjusted EPS estimate of $2.59 compares to adjusted

income is lower, core expenses are about in-line, and provision expense

assume $265m in fee income. This compares to mgmt’s guidance of

$265-275m ex securities losses.

▪ Expenses. We assume reported expenses of $748m (assuming $75m in
