What WAL reported on Oct 19, 2026

The quarter

A profit of $2.45 a share, from $2.28.

“The increase from the second quarter 2026 was primarily due to higher yields on interest earning assets and higher average HFI loan balances, partially offset by lower average balances in cash and other interest earning assets and an increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the related costs of these liabilities.”
