<p class="has-drop-cap">For <a href="https://ir.truist.com" target="_blank" aria-label="Q4 2024 (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">Q4 2024</a>, Truist Financial Corporation (NYSE: TFC) reported a <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/fundamental-analysis-stocks/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">GAAP loss</a> of $5.2 billion, equating to $3.85 per share, significantly impacted by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge. However, when adjusted for certain non-recurring items, the bank’s net income stood at a more favorable $1.1 billion, or $0.81 per share. The bank’s total revenue reached $5.76 billion, with net interest income at $3.60 billion and noninterest income at $2.16 billion. Despite these pressures, the bank’s capital and liquidity levels remained robust.</p>

<p>TFC’s adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.81 outpaced the expected $0.68, presenting a notable positive variance. However, the total revenue of $5.76 billion fell slightly short of the anticipated $5.69 billion. This mixed outcome reflects the bank’s resilience in a challenging environment, balancing lower net interest income with higher noninterest income.</p>
