Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • Texas Capital beat Q2 EPS estimates as revenues rose on higher NII and non-interest income.
  • TCBI grew loans and deposits sequentially, while wealth, advisory and trading fees lifted non-interest income.
  • Texas Capital saw higher expenses and credit costs, but continued share repurchases in the quarter.

Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (TCBI - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.88, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.85. The figure also compared favorably with $1.63 in the year-ago quarter.

TCBI’s results benefited from higher net interest income (NII) and non-interest income, along with solid loan and deposit balances. However, results were impacted by higher expenses and credit costs.

Results exclude certain items. After considering this, net income available to common shareholders (GAAP basis) was $80.6 million, up 10.4% from $73 million in the year-ago quarter.

TCBI’s Quarterly Revenues & Expenses Rise

Total quarterly revenues increased 9.1% year over year to $335.5 million. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.3%.

NII was $260.4 million, which rose 2.8% year over year. The increase was mainly driven by growth in average earning assets and lower funding costs, partially offset by lower earning asset yields and growth in average interest-bearing deposits.

The net interest margin contracted 7 basis points year over year to 3.28%.

Non-interest income increased 38.9% year over year to $75.1 million. The rise was primarily driven by higher wealth management and trust fee income, investment banking and advisory fees, trading income, and other income.

Non-interest expenses rose 8% year over year to $205.5 million. The increase was mainly due to higher salaries and benefits, marketing, legal and professional, communications and technology, and other non-interest expenses.

Texas Capital’s Loans & Deposits Increase Sequentially

As of June 30, 2026, loans held for investment totaled $18.6 billion compared with $18.2 billion as of March 31, 2026. Total deposits were $28.9 billion, up from $28.5 billion in the prior quarter.

TCBI’s Credit Quality Deteriorates

Net charge-offs were $16.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, up from $13 million in the year-ago quarter.

Performance of Other Banks

WaFd Inc.’s (WAFD - Free Report) third-quarter fiscal 2026 (ended June 30) adjusted earnings of 81 cents per share lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. However, the bottom line jumped 11% year over year.

WAFD’s results were hurt by a substantial rise in provisions and higher expenses. Lower loan and deposit balances acted as a spoilsport. These were partially offset by higher net interest income and non-interest income. 

Citizens Financial Group (CFG - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of $1.30, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.25. The metric rose 41% from the year-ago quarter.

CFG’s results benefited from a rise in NII and non-interest income. Growth in loan and deposit balances, and an improvement in credit quality were also encouraging. However, a rise in expenses and a weaker capital position were major headwinds.
