Did FULT Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results
Yes. Fulton Financial reported Q2 2026 earnings of $0.60 a share on Jul 22, 2026, beating the $0.53 consensus estimate by 12.6%. Revenue was $363.6M against a $359.2M estimate.
Fulton Financial delivered a stronger-than-expected second quarter, posting non-GAAP operating earnings of $0.60 per diluted share against a consensus estimate of $0.53, a beat of 13.21% that extended the Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based bank's streak to four consecutive quarters of topping analyst expectations. Revenue came in at $363.56 million, down 23.0% year over year, though the headline decline was largely a function of prior-period comparisons rather than underlying weakness. The clearest driver of the quarter's outperformance was the April 1 closing of the Blue Foundry Bancorp acquisition, which added roughly $2.10 billion in assets and contributed approximately $17.50 million to a sequential net interest income increase, lifting NII to $284.25 million as net interest margin expanded two basis points to 3.60%. Provision for credit losses fell sharply to $4.90 million, further supporting the bottom line. Looking ahead, Fulton guided full-year 2026 non-FTE net interest income to $1.12 billion to $1.14 billion, assuming no further federal funds rate changes, with non-interest expense targeted at $810 million to $830 million as Blue Foundry cost saves ramp toward a full run-rate by the fourth quarter.
- Net interest margin expanded 2 basis points to 3.60%
- Blue Foundry Bancorp acquisition contributed $17.5 million to net interest income increase
- Non-interest income increased $9.5 million linked quarter, driven by $6.9 million from equity method investment sale
- Loan yield increased 10 basis points to 5.80%
- Consumer loan growth of $206.9 million excluding acquisitions
- Operating ROAA improved to 1.39% from 1.30%
- Operating ROATCE improved to 15.71% from 14.76%
“During the quarter, we achieved record financial results and successfully completed the acquisition of Blue Foundry Bancorp. With the successful integration of Blue Foundry Bank already occurring earlier this month, we are well positioned to deepen existing relationships and drive growth in this expanded footprint. Our ongoing strong performance is due to high demand for our community banking approach and the commitment of our dedicated team members to making banking personal. Our sustained focus on executing our strategic priorities is creating long-term value for our shareholders.”
