Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

U.S. Bancorp reported third-quarter 2026 net income attributable to the company of $2.20 billion, up 10.0% from a year earlier, with diluted earnings per share of $1.34, up 9.8%. Total net revenue rose 8.7% year over year to $7.97 billion, which the company called a record, and fee revenue grew 14.9%, helped by the BTIG acquisition and a small business credit card portfolio purchase. The filing contains no full-year guidance change, and higher expenses and a $135 million provision tied to the card portfolio purchase partly offset the gains.
