Earnings calendar and expectations for Q3 2026
For investors, the next major checkpoint will be the third quarter 2026 earnings release, which is scheduled for October 21, 2026, based on the earnings event overview for Northern Trust on Markets Insider.
The same overview shows that Northern Trust reported estimated earnings per share of 2.245 USD for the first quarter 2026 on April 21, 2026 and 2.529 USD for the second quarter 2026 on July 22, 2026, figures that form the recent trend line into the upcoming third quarter release.
Current analyst estimates compiled by Markets Insider indicate expected full-year 2026 revenue of USD 8,575 million and EPS of 10.04 USD, rising to an estimated 8,944 million revenue and 11.01 USD EPS for 2027, underlining a projected earnings increase of roughly 9.6% year on year.
Stock valuation, dividend and investor perspective
Based on the same estimates, Northern Trust is currently valued at a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.59 times the projected 2026 earnings, according to the overview on Markets Insider, and the dividend for 2026 is projected at 3.27 USD per share, implying a dividend yield of 2.24% at current estimate levels.
The same data set forecasts the dividend to increase to 3.42 USD for 2027 and 3.60 USD for 2028, with dividend yields of 2.34% and 2.46% respectively, signalling gradual income growth alongside the expected EPS progression.
For medium-term investors, the combination of a consensus Hold rating, a current share price of USD 184.69 and an average analyst price target of USD 180.68 suggests that the market largely sees Northern Trust stock as fairly valued, while the scheduled October 21, 2026 earnings release could recalibrate expectations if reported EPS deviates from the 2.552 USD estimate listed for the third quarter event.
