Net interest margin expanded 30bps to 15.08%. The company returned $950M capital to shareholders ($850M repurchases, $100M dividends) and issued $500M preferred stock at 7.25%. CET1 ratio declined to 13.2% from 14.2% year-over-year.
Why this rating
Earnings decline despite strong loan/purchase growth reflects margin compression, elevated expenses, credit provision timing. Capital return substantial but CET1 pressure material. Ordinary quarterly operations.
