Truist Financial delivered a standout second quarter, with EPS of $1.23 per diluted share, a 37% year-over-year increase and a meaningful beat against the $1.08 consensus estimate. Revenue of $5.3 billion rose 5.5% year-over-year and 2.2% sequentially, driven almost entirely by fee income rather than balance sheet expansion. Return on tangible common equity reached 15.4%, up 310 basis points year-over-year, and the company generated more than 300 basis points of positive operating leverage, metrics that validate the deliberate portfolio repositioning strategy management has been executing over the past several quarters.
