Quarterly adjusted net income available to common shareholders, which excluded $25 million of acquisition-related expenses, net of tax, was $620 million(1), or $3.14 per diluted share(1).
“Results through the first nine months of the fiscal year were strong, with records set for net revenues, pre-tax income, net income and earnings per share, reflecting the continued execution of our long-term strategies and the strength of a culture built on putting people first and earning trust over generations,” said CEO Paul Shoukry. “Our consistent performance reflects our long-term approach, the resiliency of our diversified business model and the commitment of our associates and advisors to serving clients with integrity. These results were anchored by continued strength in the Private Client Group, where fee-based assets reached a quarter-end record of $1.15 trillion and annualized domestic PCG net new asset growth was 6.6% for the first nine months of the fiscal year. As we enter the fiscal fourth quarter, we do so with significant momentum, supported by historically strong business drivers, robust financial advisor recruiting and strong investment banking pipelines, as well as ample capital and liquidity to support continued growth.”
Record quarterly net revenues increased 16% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 2% over the preceding quarter, largely driven by continued growth in asset management and related administrative fees which grew to approximately $2.1 billion. Quarterly pre-tax income increased 2% over the preceding quarter while net income available to common shareholders increased 10% largely due to a lower effective tax rate. For the fiscal third quarter, annualized return on common equity and annualized adjusted return on tangible common equity were 18.8% and 23.5%(1), respectively.
For the first nine months of the fiscal year, record net revenues of $11.5 billion increased 11%, record earnings per diluted share of $8.52 increased 16%, and record adjusted earnings per diluted share of $8.83(1) increased 17% over the first nine months of fiscal 2025. The Private Client Group and Asset Management segments generated record net revenues in the first nine months of fiscal 2026. The Asset Management and Bank segments produced record pre-tax income during the same period. Annualized return on common equity was 18.1% and annualized adjusted return on tangible common equity was 22.0%(1).
