Strong Revenue Growth:
Recent disclosures point to record quarterly and full‑year revenue with increases in both net interest income and fee income, and management’s 2026 outlook calls for further top‑line expansion. Q2 2026 results specifically noted record revenue with sequential growth in core components.
Profitability:
Earnings are described as strong, including $7.0B of net income for full‑year 2025 and $2.1B in Q2 2026. The board’s decision to raise the quarterly common dividend to $2.00 per share signals confidence in ongoing earnings power.
Market Expansion:
The acquisition of FirstBank closed in January 2026, expanding the franchise in Colorado and Arizona with expectations of top‑tier share in Denver and a tripled Colorado branch count. A roughly $2B branch program to open 300+ locations by 2030 is underway, with dozens of new branches already opened in 2026.
