Super-regional banks reported commercial loan growth and higher net interest income in Q2 2026, according to Trepp. Net interest income rose sequentially at all 11 banks, with Citizens and PNC each up 4%. Major acquisitions affected year-over-year comparisons. Fifth Third absorbed Comerica, Huntington added Veritex and Cadence, and PNC acquired FirstBank of Lakewood. Net charge-off ratios declined at eight banks, whilst credit loss allowances fell at 10 of 11 institutions. However, commercial real estate performance diverged. Citizens reduced its CRE charge-off rate to 0.36% from 0.64%, and PNC cut nonperforming CRE balances by 10%. Truist, U.S. Bancorp, and KeyCorp each recorded higher CRE nonperforming assets despite overall charge-off declines, suggesting uneven stress from legacy office and multifamily exposure.
