State Street stock (ISIN US8574771031) closed the last completed trading day on September 18, 2026 at USD 182.87 on the New York Stock Exchange, marking a modest daily decline of 0.11 percent that leaves the shares near recent highs and backed by robust 2026 figures.
Recent earnings show double-digit growth
The Boston-based financial services group State Street Corporation reported a strong start to fiscal 2026 in its latest available quarterly results for the first quarter of 2026, with several key indicators showing double-digit growth versus the prior year.
In Q1 2026, State Street’s total revenue increased 16 percent year over year to a record USD 3.8 billion, while fee revenue rose 15 percent to USD 3.0 billion compared with the prior-year quarter, according to Ad-hoc-news.
Net interest income for Q1 2026 reached USD 835 million, up 17 percent year over year, reflecting continued net interest margin expansion in a higher-rate environment, while reported earnings per share rose 22 percent versus the prior-year quarter and EPS excluding notable items grew 39 percent, delivering the ninth consecutive quarter of year-over-year pre tax margin expansion, according to Ad-hoc-news.
Higher rates reinforce the earnings backdrop
For investors, the interest-rate backdrop is an important part of the State Street story in 2026 because the company earns on large client cash and short-term balances while providing custody, fund administration, data and investment management services worldwide.
According to an analysis of rate-sensitive financial stocks by Simply Wall St on September 20, 2026, State Street runs a global custody and asset servicing franchise that generated about USD 12.1 billion from Investment Servicing and USD 3.0 billion from Investment Management, with the stock valued at roughly USD 50.2 billion.
This earnings mix means higher short-term rates can support net interest income and fee-based revenues, but the same report also highlights that the broader financial sector has faced bouts of weakness in 2026, with rotation between traditional banks and more rate-levered or niche financial names, as summarized by GuruFocus on September 19, 2026.
Upcoming earnings and dividend schedule
Investors do not have long to wait for the next checkpoint on State Street’s earnings trajectory. State Street Corporation is scheduled to report its next quarterly results on October 15, 2026, according to the earnings calendar entry updated on September 19, 2026 by Ad-hoc-news.
The same overview cites data from AltIndex indicating that analyst consensus for State Street’s next quarterly earnings figure stands at earnings per share of USD 3.30, with the stock at USD 182.87 and up 9.2 percent over the last three months from USD 167.48, according to Ad-hoc-news.
Alongside earnings, the dividend stream remains a focus. A recent overview of institutional activity in the shares notes that State Street’s board approved a quarterly dividend of USD 0.92 per share to be paid on October 13, 2026, up from a previous USD 0.84 per share, implying an annualized dividend of USD 3.68 and a yield of 2.0 percent based on recent prices, as reported by MarketBeat on September 20, 2026.
Stock price context and valuation
At a closing price of USD 182.87 on September 18, 2026, State Street stock reflects a three-month gain of 9.2 percent from USD 167.48, while still trading below typical estimates of the company’s intrinsic value based on its fee and interest earnings, according to Ad-hoc-news.
The Simply Wall St analysis notes that with investment servicing revenue of about USD 12.1 billion and investment management revenue of about USD 3.0 billion, a stock market valuation of roughly USD 50.2 billion implies that investors are paying just over four times the combined revenue streams, highlighting the sensitivity of the shares to changes in margins and interest rates, according to Simply Wall St.
