Regions Financial Posts 3Q EPS of $0.71
RF sits 22% above its 52-week low of $22.7.
Summary
Regions Financial reported third-quarter EPS of $0.71, up from $0.64 in Q2 2026, with adjusted EPS of 73c that beat the $0.66 consensus, and revenue of $1.97B that topped the $1.83B estimate, sending the stock up 1.7%. Net income was $631M, while net interest income was $1.3B and the FTE net interest margin was 3.68%. Credit provision was $68M versus $116M expected, and the quarter-end allowance for credit losses ratio was 1.61%. The sequential increase suggests continued earnings momentum after the bank raised its dividend 13% and flagged broad credit improvement in its August 6 10-Q. The result also follows the August 7 8-K, which guided to net interest income growth of 2.5-4% for the year. At a $23.3 billion market cap, a $0.07 sequential EPS gain is a modest but constructive step for a regional bank still working through funding costs and credit quality.
