(NYSE:TFC) reported first-quarter results on Friday that topped earnings expectations, though revenue came in slightly below forecasts.Shares of the bank fell 1.58% in premarket trading following the announcement.The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.09, exceeding the $1.00 consensus estimate by $0.09, or 9%, and marking a 25% increase from $0.87 in the same period last year.

On a year-on-year basis, net interest income rose 2.5%, supported by repricing of fixed-rate assets and growth in lending.Noninterest income remained broadly unchanged at $1.55 billion, as stronger investment banking and trading revenue offset declines in other areas. Noninterest expenses fell $187 million, or 5.9%, to $2.98 billion, driven mainly by reductions in other expenses, personnel costs, and professional fees.“We delivered a strong first quarter, with earnings per share up 25% from the first quarter of 2025, driven by disciplined execution against our strategic priorities and continued momentum across the franchise,” said Bill Rogers, Chairman and CEO.Average loans held for investment increased by $2.3 billion, or 0.7%, to $327.0 billion, led by growth in the commercial portfolio.

Truist expands Enterprise Payments sales leadership as payments growth acceleratesMarch 10, 2026 8:03 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Segment-aligned sales teams driving double-digit treasury management gains and a strengthening payments pipelineCHARLOTTE, N.C., March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Truist Financial Corporation (NYSE: TFC) today named Geoff Gursel and Steven Shipp to lead key sales segments in its Enterprise Payments business. The appointments expand a segment-aligned leadership model following strong performance in 2025, including 13% growth in treasury management fees. The increase was driven by new client acquisition and deeper relationships, and contributed to higher profitability across Truist's Wholesale businesses.







Improved performance and ongoing investment reflect disciplined execution and evolving client behavior, as commercial and middle-market clients consolidated more of their payment and cash-management activity with Truist. The strengthening payments pipeline signals sustained client appetite for integrated capabilities that simplify operations and improve liquidity visibility.To capture greater market share, Truist named Gursel and Shipp to sales leadership roles across middle market and small business payments, respectively. The structure is designed to support clients with consistent execution as payments play a more central role in how they manage liquidity and transact day to day. Gursel has been hired as Head of Middle Market Payments Sales, partnering across Wholesale Banking to drive growth, develop talent and accelerate execution. Based in Maryland, Gursel brings more than 20 years of experience at Citi, where he held senior roles across treasury, payments and transaction banking, most recently leading North America new business development for middle-market and commercial clients.Shipp has been named Head of Small Business Payments Sales, leading Truist's payments sales strategy for small business clients with a focus on speed to market and simplification. Based in North Carolina, he brings 25 years of experience at Truist and will partner across Small Business Banking to deepen client relationships and bring integrated payment capabilities to market more quickly.In addition to Gursel and Shipp, Truist appointed Elaine Kim and Rico Iacchetti in 2025 to lead payments sales for commercial banking and corporate banking, respectively. They join Andy Rankin, who leads payments sales for key industries, and Deb Burgess, who oversees specialty sales focused on complex client needs across the payments portfolio."We delivered strong results in 2025, driven by disciplined execution and growing momentum in payments," said Truist Head of Enterprise Payments Chris Ward. "With our Enterprise Payments sales leadership team fully in place, we're positioned to scale momentum — deepening client relationships, supporting deposit engagement and strengthening the purpose-driven performance of the franchise."Truist Enterprise Payments is part of the Truist Wholesale Banking segment, which provides comprehensive solutions to commercial, corporate, institutional and high-net-worth clients.About Truist

10:41 AM EDT, 03/30/2023 (MT Newswires) -- Goldman lowers price target from $55 to $39 on $TFC

As the Federal Reserve's interest-rate hikes sent bond prices plunging last year, some of the country's largest banks used a simple accounting maneuver to help keep billions of dollars of losses from piling up on their books.
They declared that they intended to hold on to large portions of their money-losing bonds until they matured rather than selling them, and they then changed the bonds' accounting labels accordingly. From then on, the bonds would be frozen in time, no matter how far their values fell in the market.
The Wall Street Journal identified six large U.S. banks including Charles Schwab Corp. and PNC Financial Services Group Inc. that together switched the classifications on more than $500 billion of their bond investments last year. For some banks, excluding the unrealized losses from their balance sheets allowed them to report robust levels of capital when in reality their assets were worth much less.
The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank has drawn fresh attention to a decades-old debate over the accounting rules. Current rules often let companies show vastly different values for the same assets, depending on what they claim they intend to do with them. In addition, the rules often let companies change their stated intentions midstream, which can have outsize impacts on how healthy their balance sheets look.

The six banks were able to flatter their balance sheets with a flick of the accounting ledger. Banks can hold assets as "available for sale," which means they are valued using market prices. Another option is to call them "held to maturity," meaning they won't be sold. These bonds are held at the banks' cost. The logic is that daily market prices aren't relevant to assets that banks wouldn't sell.
The banks' held-to-maturity bonds had a combined $1.14 trillion balance-sheet value as of Dec. 31 , up from $681 billion a year earlier. The increase was mainly due to the reclassifications.
The $1.14 trillion figure was $118 billion , or 12%, higher than the bonds' fair-market values, disclosed in footnotes to the banks' financial statements. The $118 billion was equivalent to 18% of the banks' total equity, which is the difference between assets and liabilities.
A year earlier, the difference between the held-to-maturity bonds' market value and balance-sheet value was negligible. Most of the securities were backed by the U.S. government. The amounts of the reclassifications were disclosed in the companies' financial reports. The Journal found the six banks using data compiled by S&P Global.

The large gap between the stated values and actual values of banks' assets has fueled growing concern about whether a significant portion of many banks' capital is illusory. Capital is roughly synonymous with equity, and refers to the financial cushion a company has available to absorb future losses.
The six banks' reclassifications were part of an industrywide shift last year as bond prices fell. About 48% of securities held by U.S. banks were classified as held-to-maturity at the end of 2022, up from 34% a year earlier, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. data. Unrealized losses on securities were $620 billion , of which $341 billion were on bonds dubbed held-to-maturity. The six banks' unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities accounted for 35% of the industry total.
The biggest such reclassification was by Charles Schwab, which is structured as a savings and loan holding company and regulated by the Fed. It transferred $188.6 billion of securities to the held-to-maturity category from available- for-sale. Schwab wasn't labeling any of its bonds as held-to-maturity at the end of 2021.

PNC transferred $82.7 billion of bonds to held-to-maturity from available-for-sale. JPMorgan Chase & Co. transferred $78.3 billion . Truist Financial Corp. , Wells Fargo & Co. and U.S. Bancorp transferred $59.4 billion , $50.1 billion and $45.1 billion , respectively.
"This is an artificial accounting construct, not an economic measure of the value of the assets," said Sandy Peters , head of financial reporting policy for the CFA Institute , which certifies chartered financial analysts. "The value of a bond doesn't change based upon how management decides to classify it. It's worth what it's worth."
Silicon Valley Bank's parent, SVB Financial Group, didn't reclassify any securities last year, and most of its bonds were labeled held-to-maturity from the get-go. That meant SVB had locked itself into a long-term bet that interest rates would stay low. The unrealized losses on those bonds at year-end were almost as large as SVB's $16.3 billion of total equity. It couldn't sell the bonds without booking losses and taking hits to capital.

By the end of last year, the fair-market value of Schwab's held-to-maturity bonds was $14.1 billion less than their balance-sheet value. The unrealized losses were equivalent to 39% of Schwab's total equity. The unrealized losses exceeded Schwab's $6.2 billion of tangible common equity, which is a bare-bones capital metric that excludes preferred stock and intangible assets.
A Schwab spokeswoman pointed to a March 23 open letter by the company's co-chairmen, Charles Schwab and Walt Bettinger . "Focusing attention on 'unrealized losses' in our held-to-maturity (HTM) portfolio is very misleading," they said, adding that "there is a near-zero chance we'd need to sell any of our HTM portfolio before maturity."
At Wells Fargo , unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities were $41.5 billion , equivalent to 23% of total equity. At U.S. Bancorp , they were $10.9 billion , or 21% of total equity. At Truist, they were $9.9 billion , or 16% of total equity. The percentages at JPMorgan and PNC were 13% and 11%, respectively.

In their annual reports, most of the banks said they did the transfers to keep the fair-value changes out of their equity and capital metrics. In its annual report, PNC said it changed its intent for the securities "to reduce the impact of price volatility" on equity and capital. Truist said it made the transfers as the company "continues to execute upon its asset-liability management strategies."
Wells Fargo said it made the transfers "to reposition the overall portfolio for capital management purposes." JPMorgan cited "capital management purposes."
Jeffrey Shelman , a U.S. Bancorp spokesman, said: "We are always making decisions to manage our balance sheet to ensure appropriate liquidity, balanced by the desire to mitigate the volatility that is associated with interest-rate movements." Spokesmen for PNC, JPMorgan and Truist and a Wells Fargo spokeswoman declined to comment.

Citi upgrades Truist to buy because bear case seems 'flawed'
7:26 am ET March 15, 2023 (MarketWatch)
Print

Citi analyst Keith Horowitz on Wednesday upgraded Truist Financial Corp. (TFC) to buy despite headwinds in the market on earnings challenges and potential regulatory action. Horowitz said Truist stock now offers an attractive entry point after a 27% loss in the last five days. "The primary risk to our thesis is depositor behavior given market reactions, which could induce deposit flight, but we view this as relatively unlikely," he said. "The TFC bear case is all about high held-to-maturity (HTM) losses relative to equity and we believe this thesis is flawed." He said Truist is a "fundamentally different bank" than now-defunct Silicon Valley Bank. Truist stock is down 2.6% in premarket trades as jitters around Credit Suisse (CSGN.EB) and bank solvency weighed on bank stocks.
