Shares of NTRS gained 6% on Jan. 22, after it posted impressive Q4 results. The company delivered total revenue of $2.1 billion, up 8.4% from the year-ago quarter, and posted net income of $2.42 per share, rising 7.1% year-over-year. Mid-single-digit expansion in trust fees, a double-digit increase in net interest income, and disciplined cost management, contributed to its strong performance.

For fiscal 2026, ending in December, analysts expect NTRS’ EPS to grow 9.9% year over year to $9.90. The company’s earnings surprise history is promising. It exceeded the consensus estimates in each of the last four quarters.
