Summary

Wintrust delivered its sixth consecutive quarter of record earnings in Q2 2026, with net income of $233.7 million ($3.30 per diluted share) driven by strong organic growth across both loans and deposits. The company added $1.6 billion in loans and $2.2 billion in deposits during the quarter, reflecting diversified growth across its product offerings and continued market share gains.

For the first half of 2026, net income reached a record $461.1 million, up 20% year-over-year. The net interest margin compressed 4 basis points to 3.52% as loan yields declined, but remained within management's expected range. Robust earning asset growth more than offset the margin pressure, pushing net interest income to a record $597.4 million.

Credit quality metrics improved sequentially, with net charge-offs declining to 10 basis points and non-performing loans holding steady at 0.32% of total loans. Tangible book value per share grew to $92.13, extending the company's unbroken streak of annual increases since its 1996 IPO. The quarter also included a $5.2 million reversal of an FDIC special assessment related to 2023 bank failures.
