PNC stock was trading at USD 217 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026 at 10:09 a.m. ET, down 1.44 percent from the prior close. The next scheduled company event is the third-quarter earnings conference call on October 15, 2026, according to PNC.

Q2 earnings set the benchmark

The latest reported quarter gives investors a clear operating baseline. According to MarketBeat on October 6, 2026, PNC delivered adjusted EPS of USD 4.85 in the second quarter of 2026, beating the USD 4.46 consensus by USD 0.39. Revenue reached USD 6.88 billion, up 21.4 percent from the year-earlier quarter.

The same report put diluted EPS at USD 4.81 and net margin at 21.41 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The earnings comparison matters because the prior-year quarter produced EPS of USD 3.85, leaving PNC with a USD 1.00 year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share.

Analyst targets remain divided

UBS Group lowered its PNC target from USD 288 to USD 286 while retaining a Buy rating, as MarketBeat reported on October 6, 2026. The move contrasts with Goldman Sachs, which cut its target from USD 281 to USD 250 and kept a Neutral rating, according to MarketBeat on October 5, 2026.

MarketBeat listed a Moderate Buy consensus based on one Strong Buy, 16 Buy and five Hold ratings, with an average target of USD 268.35. Against the October 7 trading price, that average target is USD 51.35 higher, while PNC's 52-week high of USD 258.96 remains 16.2 percent above the current price.

PNC stock stays below its yearly high

PNC's market capitalization stood at USD 86.6 billion on October 7, 2026, with 267,702 shares traded at the recorded time. The intraday range ran from USD 216.22 to USD 219.77, placing the USD 217 price near the session low and keeping the stock below its 52-week high.

The October 15 report will therefore test whether the second-quarter earnings pace can continue into the third quarter. For investors, the key comparison is the gap between the USD 4.85 adjusted EPS delivered in Q2 and the USD 4.88 consensus estimate listed for the upcoming quarter.
