Truist Financial: Deep Value Based On Fee Growth (Rating Upgrade)
Truist Financial delivered strong Q2'26 results, with double-digit growth in Y/Y net earnings as well as non-interest income. TFC's commercial loan book and fee-based businesses, especially capital markets advice, drove robust year-over-year expansion and outperformance versus consensus. The current 1.1x P/B valuation is inadequate, and the bank could re-rate to 1.4x if net interest and fee-based income momentum persists and rate cuts are delayed until 2027.
