Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Navient posted Q2 EPS of 21 cents, missing estimates and down from 48 cents in the prior-year quarter.
Results were hurt by a 3.7% drop in NII and a rise in loan-loss provisions to $37 million.
Total expenses fell 45.4% year over year, helping to offset top-line pressure partially.
Navient Corporation (NAVI - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 21 cents, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 29 cents.

Shares of NAVI are trending 2.5% lower in the early market trading session today.
Results were affected by a decrease in net interest income (NII) and other income along with higher provision for loan losses. However, lower expenses acted as a tailwind.
