The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. Research Reports
On October 15, 2014, The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC) reported results for Q3 2014. Revenue fell 2.0% YoY to $3.8 billion, primarily reflecting a 5.8% drop in net interest income, partly offset by a 3.0% growth in non-interest income. Amongst others, the fall in net interest income came from weaker earning asset yields and decreased investment securities balances. However, reported quarter net income advanced 1.0% YoY to $1.04 billion, while diluted EPS rose $0.02 from Q3 2013 to $1.79, beating Zacks Estimate of $1.71. Despite topping analyst expectations, PNC stocks lost 4.40% during the day to end at $78.00. A Nasdaq release on the same day stated that a possible factor weighing down the stock was the 2.0% YoY decline in quarterly revenues, although it surpassed Wall Street expectations by around $40 million. The overall U.S. financial sector closed under pressure, with NYSE Financial Sector Index declining 2.4% and S&P Financial 100 Index plunging over 3.0% during the session, Nasdaq reported.
