Company News for Jul 21, 2025

Comerica (NYSE:CMA) reported its Q2 2025 earnings on July 18, reporting EPS of $1.42 (up nearly 14% sequentially). In the quarter, it returned $193 million to shareholders through stock repurchases and dividends. Management highlighted inflecting loan growth, normalization of pressured deposits, disciplined expense control, and sustained capital strength, while maintaining guidance of net interest income growth of 5% to 7% for the year, despite anticipated short-term headwinds.
Loan Growth Highlights Organic Business Momentum
The company achieved period-end loan growth of approximately 3%, and increased total commitments by $400 million, with particularly strong activity in environmental services and commercial real estate, even as average loans in equity fund services declined. Management said middle market loan pipelines are improving, and activity feels better than it has since the Silicon Valley Bank situation, though levels have not yet returned to their norms before that institution's March 2023 failure, despite sectorwide uncertainty and a period of portfolio rationalization following the 2023 regional bank crisis.
"We saw an inflection in loans as balances grew consistently throughout the quarter across most of our businesses. Our deposits came down modestly, favorable loan fee income and excess trends drove a sizable increase in both net income and PPNR. Capitalization remained a strength with an estimated CET1 of 11.94%, well above our 10% strategic target, even after a compelling dividend and higher share repurchases. Sentiment improved as we saw signs of customers beginning to make measured investments in their businesses."
— Curt Farmer, President, Chairman and CEO
Renewed loan growth signals a possible shift in business customer confidence and lays groundwork for sustainable revenue expansion after several quarters of muted activity and balance sheet optimization.
Deposit Franchise and Strategic Technology Investment Underscore Competitive Strength
Non-interest-bearing deposits remained stable at 38% of total deposits for the fourth consecutive quarter, demonstrating resilience in a sector that has seen significant deposit migration and pricing competition. The launch of two new real-time payment solutions marked further progress in digitizing Comerica's offerings, intending to solidify customer relationships and enhance funding mix quality.
"Just this quarter, we delivered two new real-time payment solutions providing additional flexibility for our customers. We feel these success stories are strong proof points of the effectiveness of our strategy."
— Jim Herzog, Chief Financial Officer
Maintaining a robust proportion of low-cost deposits and proactively investing in real-time payments infrastructure positions the company to better manage funding costs, support loan growth, and safeguard margins relative to less technologically agile peers.
Expense Discipline and Capital Management Enable Shareholder Returns Amid Challenging Efficiency Metrics
Non-interest expense decreased by $23 million quarter-over-quarter, aided by lower litigation and compensation costs, as well as certain non-recurring benefits, resulting in an improved efficiency ratio even as management acknowledged continued sector-leading expense levels. Its estimated Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio stands at 11.94%, materially above the internal 10% CET1 target. That condition allowed management to increase share repurchases in Q2 to $100 million. Ongoing scrutiny from shareholders and analysts remains focused on the company's below-peer long-term efficiency and return metrics.
"Our strong capital position afforded us the opportunity to redeem preferred stock, avoiding a more punitive coupon reset, but also resulting in a slight negative drag to EPS this quarter from costs related to the preferred stock redemption."
— Curt Farmer, President, Chairman, and CEO
Capital strength and opportunistic share repurchases underpin excess return potential, but persistent efficiency challenges elevate pressure on management to translate growth investments and digital enhancements into sustainable, peer-competitive profitability metrics.
Looking Ahead
Management forecasts that its average loans will be flat to down 1% in 2025 -- a narrowing of the previous guidance range -- while anticipating average deposits will decline by 2% to 3% as its strategic reduction in brokered CDs continues. Net interest income is projected to grow by 5% to 7% for the year, with net interest income expected to dip in the third quarter before resuming sequential growth in the fourth. Non-interest expenses are now expected to grow by 2% in 2025, an improvement from earlier guidance. The CET1 ratio is expected to remain near 12% in Q3, which will support at least $100 million in stock repurchases in the quarter. Management does not assume Direct Express deposit attrition in its 2025 outlook. No explicit long-term (2026+) quantitative guidance was disclosed in the transcript.

Notable Friday Option Activity: RH, CMA, SPOT

Comerica Incorporated CMA has reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.42, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.23. In the prior-year quarter, the company reported an EPS of $1.53.
Results benefited from a rise in net interest income (NII) and loan balance. Yet, lower deposit balances, decline in non-interest income and weak asset quality were concerning.
Net income attributable to common shareholders (GAAP basis) was $187 million, which declined 6.5% from the year-ago quarter.
Comerica's Revenues & Expenses Rise
Total quarterly revenues were $849 million, up 3% year over year. The top line surpassed the consensus estimate by 0.5%.
Quarterly NII rose 7.9% on a year-over-year basis to $575 million. The net interest margin increased 30 basis points year over year to 3.16%.
Total non-interest income was $274 million, down 5.8% on a year-over-year basis.
Non-interest expenses totaled $561 million, up 1.1% year over year. The rise was primarily due to an increase in Salaries and benefits expense and Occupancy expense.
The efficiency ratio was 65.78% compared with the prior-year quarter’s 67.77%. A fall in this ratio indicates increased profitability.
CMA’s Loans Balance Rise & Deposit Declines
As of June 30, 2025, total loans rose 2.5% on a sequential basis to $51.2 billion. Total deposits declined 2.4% from the previous quarter to $60 billion.
Comerica's Credit Quality Deteriorates
The company recorded a provision for credit loss of $44 million in the second quarter compared with no provision in the year-ago quarter.
The allowance for credit losses was $735 million, which rose 2.5% year over year.
Total non-performing assets rose 10.2% year over year to $249 million.
The allowance for credit losses to total loans ratio was 1.44% as of June 30, 2025, up from 1.38% as of June 30, 2024. Also, the company recorded net charge-offs of $28 million, significantly up from $11 million recorded in the year-ago quarter.
CMA's Capital Position Mixed Bag
The total capital ratio was 13.74%, down from 14.02% in the year-ago quarter. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.94%, up from 11.55% in the prior-year quarter.
As of June 30, 2025, CMA's tangible common equity ratio was 8.04%, up from 6.49% in the prior-year quarter.
Comerica’s Capital Distribution Activities
The company repurchased $100 million of common stock under the share repurchase program.
Our View on CMA
The company’s decent capital position will aid capital distribution activities in the upcoming period, boosting investor confidence in the stock. Its focus on improving operational efficiency will support financials. The rise in NII looks encouraging. However, weak asset quality and a rise in expenses remain near-term concerns.
Comerica Incorporated Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Currently, Comerica carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Performance of Other Banks
Synovus Financial Corp. SNV reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share of $1.48, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.25. This compares favorably with the earnings of $1.16 per share a year ago. (Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
SNV’s results benefited from strong year-over-year growth in NII and non-interest revenues, along with a fall in provisions for credit losses. Also, improving loan balances were a tailwind. An increase in expenses, however, was a major headwind.
First Horizon Corporation’s FHN second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share (excluding notable items) of 45 cents surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 41 cents. This compares favorably with 36 cents in the year-ago quarter.
FHN’s results benefited from a rise in NII and non-interest income, along with a decline in expenses. Also, lower provisions and a rise in loans and deposit balances were other positives.
