【Net interest income momentum continuing】 Management expects net interest income to grow 6%-8% in 2026 compared to 2025, driven by moderate deposit and loan growth, sizable fixed-rate asset repricing, and cash flow swap repricing, with approximately $12-15 billion in combined mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans rolling off quarterly at 150-200 basis points higher yields. The company anticipates generating more than 200 basis points of operating leverage in 2026, supported by disciplined expense management and revenue growth, with expectations for continued strong performance in investment banking, asset management, and sales and trading fees. Management remains focused on reducing headcount over time to drive efficiency improvements while maintaining flexibility to navigate changing market conditions, and expects to sustain strong credit performance with stable net charge-offs given benign consumer delinquency trends and low unemployment. The company targets an effective tax rate of approximately 20% for 2026 and continues to prioritize organic growth, capital returns to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, and working toward a 50 basis point management buffer above regulatory capital minimums.
