Provident Financial Services posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.65 for Q3 2026, beating expectations and extending the bank's streak of EPS beats to six consecutive quarters.

On a GAAP basis, net income was $69.2 million after the company absorbed a loss on debt extinguishment, core conversion costs, and branch restructuring charges.
