🎯 Q2 2026 | Rev $5B | EPS $5.60 vs $5.47 🟢
💡 The 2.4% EPS beat (5.6 vs 5.47) is treated by the market as a one-time surprise, but strength in recurring asset-based fees, net new assets, and advisor productivity signal a new higher run-rate. Consensus FY2026 EPS estimates still lag the Q1 annualized run-rate by 5-7%, underestimating margin gains from scale and interest income tailwinds.
