Return on equity was 13.72 percent and net margin was 23.92 percent for the reported quarter, giving investors concrete evidence behind the bank's current earnings profile.

The same report stated that the ratio reached 2.5 percent when including a USD 215 million gain from the Visa sale. Capital also strengthened: the common equity Tier 1 ratio was 11.8 percent in the second quarter of 2026, up from 11.0 percent previously and above the 10.6 percent peer median.
