US bank earnings jump 12% to $90B as Whalen warns of securities lending and mortgage risks

U.S. bank quarterly net income surged to $90.1 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 12% from the previous quarter, according to Whalen Global Advisors' latest report. Noninterest income rose $5.5 billion, or 6.1%, driven by higher trading revenue and fee income linked to the AI stock boom. However, Christopher Whalen, WGA Chairman, warns that margin lending and borrowing tied to securities transactions is growing faster than loans to non-depository financial institutions. The report also highlights potential vulnerabilities in mortgage finance, noting that bank-owned mortgage servicing rights have been significantly overvalued since late 2023. Whalen argues that current practices enable banks to lend against mortgage servicing rights at potentially unrealisable valuations, creating risks as credit conditions tighten.

Spire secures $400M delayed draw term loan facility with 364-day maturity

Spire Inc. has secured a $400 million delayed draw senior unsecured term loan facility, the company announced on 1 September 2026. The credit agreement was established with a syndicate of banks led by Mizuho Bank and U.S. Bank National Association as joint lead arrangers and bookrunners. The facility allows up to four separate borrowings until the earliest of full utilisation, the fourth borrowing, or 1 December 2026. Pricing is set at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 0.80% per annum, with a 364-day maturity from the effective date. Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. The agreement includes standard covenants, including a consolidated capitalisation ratio requirement not exceeding 70% at each fiscal quarter-end. The delayed draw structure and short-term maturity suggest potential capital deployment or strategic activity ahead.
