Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
FNB posted Q2 EPS of $0.36, which beat estimates and rose from $0.34 in the prior-year quarter.
Revenues grew 8.5% to $438.2M, fueled by NII gains from asset growth and lower deposit costs.
Provisions for credit losses jumped 26.7% to $25.6M, while expenses rose 8.7% year over year.
Shares of F.N.B. Corporation (FNB - Free Report) rose 2.3% in after-hours trading following the release of its second-quarter 2025 results. Earnings of 36 cents per share outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents. Also, the bottom line compared favorably with adjusted earnings of 34 cents in the prior-year quarter.
Results benefited from growth in net interest income (NII) and non-interest income. Higher loans and deposits are other positives. However, higher provisions and expenses were the undermining factors.

Our Take on FNB
FNB’s solid liquidity position bodes well for the future. The company’s top line is expected to benefit from its efforts to increase fee income, diverse revenue streams, relatively high rates and opportunistic acquisitions. However, persistently rising expenses and significant commercial loan exposures amid a challenging backdrop are expected to hurt profits in the near term.
