Northern Trust Corporation (NTRS) — Financial Snapshot

Income Statement Summary

Metric FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 YoY
Net Revenue ~$6.8B $6.75B $8.29B +22.8%
Net Income $1.28B $1.05B $2.03B +93%
EPS (diluted) $6.16 $5.14 ~$9.50 +85%

FY2023 earnings declined as deposit repricing costs offset fee revenue growth and elevated operating expenses. FY2024 staged a strong recovery driven by higher trust/servicing fees (equity market appreciation), improved net interest income, and expense discipline. Q1 2026 continued the momentum: revenue up 14% YoY.

Key Ratios (approximate)

  • P/E (FY2024): ~11x | P/TBV: ~1.6x | Dividend Yield: ~3.0%
  • ROTCE (FY2024): ~17% (significantly improved from FY2023)
  • Fee revenue as % of total: ~65–70%
  • AUM/AUC correlated to market levels — key revenue driver

Growth Profile

Northern Trust's revenues are correlated with AUM/AUC valuations, which track equity and bond markets. FY2022–FY2023 saw margin compression from rising deposit costs and market headwinds. FY2024 recovered strongly as equity markets hit all-time highs (S&P +23%), lifting fee revenue while NII stabilized. FY2025/2026 momentum continues with +14% revenue growth in early 2026.

Forward Estimates

  • FY2025 EPS: ~$10–11 (consensus; market-dependent)
  • FY2026 EPS: ~$11–12 (consensus; assuming stable markets)
  • AUM/AUC growth: Driven by market appreciation + net new money from institutional mandates
