Northern Trust Corporation (ISIN US6658591044) reported USD 642.9 million in third-quarter 2026 net income on October 21, 2026, while earnings per share reached USD 3.40. The results were released in an announcement carried by FT and discussed on the company earnings call.
Three figures define October 21
The October 21, 2026 earnings release put net income at USD 642.9 million, while the October 21, 2026 earnings call reported earnings per share of USD 3.40. The same call put return on average common equity at 20.1 percent, giving investors a clear measure of profitability for the quarter.
The October 21, 2026 call also reported revenue growth of 11 percent excluding notable items, compared with a 5 percent rise in expenses. The quarter included USD 48.7 million of pre-tax notable gains, including a USD 34.0 million gain from the sale of the guardianship services business and a USD 14.7 million gain linked to the second Visa exchange offer, according to Yahoo Finance.
What does the outlook mean?
Management expects fourth-quarter 2026 net interest income to grow 8 to 9 percent year over year and total revenue to rise 6 to 7 percent, assuming stable markets and interest rates. That outlook is slower than the third quarter's 14 percent net interest income growth, but it still points to positive operating leverage and at least 500 basis points for the full year.
The operating picture is supported by asset scale. Assets under custody and administration reached USD 20.0 trillion in the third quarter, up 9 percent year over year, while assets under management reached USD 2.0 trillion, up 11 percent. Trust, investment and other servicing fees totaled USD 1.4 billion, up 8 percent from the prior-year quarter.
