State Street Corporation Reports Q2 2025 Financial Results with $3.45 Billion Revenue

State Street Corporation reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, revealing a total revenue of $3.45 billion, an increase of 8% compared to $3.19 billion in the same period of 2024. The growth was primarily driven by an 11% rise in total fee revenue, which reached $2.72 billion, bolstered by higher foreign exchange trading services and servicing fees. However, net interest income (NII) saw a slight decline of 1%, totaling $729 million, attributed to lower average short-end rates and shifts in deposit mix, despite ongoing loan growth.

In terms of profitability, the company reported a net income of $693 million for the quarter, down from $711 million a year earlier. This decline was influenced by a notable $100 million repositioning charge related to workforce rationalization and increased performance-based compensation. The earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was $2.17, reflecting a marginal increase from $2.15 in the previous year. The pre-tax margin decreased to 25.8% from 28.6%, primarily due to the rise in total expenses, which increased by 11% to $2.53 billion.

State Street's assets under custody and administration (AUC/A) reached $49 trillion, marking an 11% increase year-over-year, driven by higher market levels and client flows. The assets under management (AUM) also rose significantly, up 17% to $5.12 trillion, reflecting strong net inflows and favorable market conditions. The company reported approximately $1.09 trillion in newly announced asset servicing mandates during the quarter, with $3.98 trillion in servicing assets remaining to be installed in future periods.

Strategically, State Street has been focusing on enhancing its operational efficiency and product offerings. The company continues to invest in technology and infrastructure, which contributed to the increase in expenses. As of June 30, 2025, State Street employed approximately 52,000 individuals, a slight decrease from the previous year, reflecting ongoing efforts to streamline operations. The company also returned $517 million to shareholders through common stock repurchases and dividends during the quarter.

Looking ahead, State Street anticipates maintaining its capital ratios within target ranges, with a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio of 10.7% as of June 30, 2025. The company expects to navigate potential market challenges while continuing to focus on client growth and technological advancements. The management remains cautious about the evolving macroeconomic environment and its impact on credit losses, particularly in commercial real estate, where provisions for credit losses increased to $30 million in the second quarter.
