Did ALLY Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results
Ally Financial delivered a notably strong second quarter, with earnings per share of $0.99 clearing the $0.80 consensus estimate by 23.86% and revenue of $2.08 billion edging past the $2.04 billion forecast by 2.20%, even as the year-over-year revenue comparison reflected a steep 48.4% decline tied largely to the April 1 close of the Credit Card divestiture. The most material driver of the rebound was a sharp swing in profitability, with GAAP net income reaching $352 million after Ally had posted a $225 million net loss in Q1 2025, when repositioning charges from the card sale and securities portfolio restructuring had weighed heavily on results. Net interest margin excluding core OID expanded 10 basis points sequentially to 3.45%, supported by continued deposit repricing gains, as the average retail deposit rate fell 60 basis points year over year to 3.58%. Credit quality also improved, with retail auto net charge-offs declining 6 basis points to 1.75% and 30-plus day delinquencies falling 24 basis points year over year. Management tightened its full-year retail auto net charge-off guidance to 2.00%-2.15% while maintaining its NIM outlook at 3.40%-3.50%.

Forward Guidance & Outlook
Ally maintained its 2025 NIM (ex. OID) guidance at 3.40%–3.50% and adjusted other revenue outlook at flat year over year. The company tightened its retail auto NCO range to 2.00%–2.15% (from 2.00%–2.25%) and consolidated NCO range to 1.35%–1.45% (from 1.35%–1.50%). Adjusted noninterest expense is expected to be flat year over year. Average earning assets guidance was updated to flat year over year (previously down ~2%) due to lower commercial floorplan declines. The effective tax rate is expected at 22%–23%.
