Read full summary

Huntington delivered strong balance-sheet and core revenue growth in the third quarter, with revenue up 31% year over year to $2.791 billion and net interest income up 37% to $2.069 billion. However, diluted EPS declined 20% to $0.33 because of acquisition-related expenses, substantially higher expenses, and share dilution. Both operating segments grew earnings, but asset quality weakened materially, with NPAs up 82% and net charge-offs rising to $146 million. The filing states that there were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K and provides no quantitative forward guidance.

What stood out

  • Revenue and net interest income grew strongly

    Third-quarter revenue was $2.791 billion, up 31% from $2.134 billion in the year-ago quarter. Net interest income increased 37% to $2.069 billion from $1.506 billion, supported by a 12-basis-point increase in FTE net interest margin to 3.25%.

  • EPS declined on acquisition costs and dilution

    Diluted EPS was $0.33 versus $0.41 in the year-ago quarter, a decline of $0.08 or 20%. Results included $117 million of acquisition-related expenses, which reduced diluted earnings by $0.05 per share.

  • Both operating segments expanded earnings

    Consumer & Regional Banking nine-month net income increased 50% to $1.494 billion from $998 million, while Commercial Banking increased 25% to $1.116 billion from $893 million.

  • Acquisitions expanded loans and deposits

    Loans and leases increased 28% to $191.449 billion from $149.642 billion at year-end 2025, while deposits increased 27% to $224.678 billion from $176.610 billion, primarily reflecting the Cadence acquisition and organic growth.

  • Operating cash flow improved

    Operating cash flow was $2.420 billion for the first nine months, up from $1.554 billion in the year-ago period. Purchases of premises and equipment were $310 million versus $149 million, equal to approximately 13% of operating cash flow.

  • Liquidity position strengthened

    Cash and cash equivalents increased to $16.816 billion from $13.495 billion at year-end 2025. Management reported $133.845 billion of selected contingent liquidity sources at September 30, 2026, versus $110.963 billion at year-end.

What to watch

  • Asset quality deteriorated

    Nonperforming assets rose 82% to $1.722 billion from $945 million at year-end 2025, and the NPA ratio increased to 0.90% from 0.63%. Net charge-offs increased to $146 million, or 0.31% of average loans, from $75 million, or 0.22%.

  • Credit reserve coverage declined

    The ACL increased to $3.358 billion from $2.743 billion, but coverage declined to 1.75% of loans from 1.83%. Management's adverse-scenario sensitivity indicated a hypothetical ACL increase of approximately $1.1 billion.

  • Integration costs pressured earnings

    Noninterest expense increased 42% year over year to $1.772 billion from $1.246 billion, including $117 million of acquisition-related expenses. Treasury / Other generated a nine-month net loss of $639 million versus $199 million in the prior-year period.

Management's outlook

No quantitative revenue or EPS guidance was provided in the 10-Q. Management stated that growth is expected to continue, supported by consumer spending, a stable labor market, and investment in technology and infrastructure; it also stated that liquidity is sufficient for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.
