Ameriprise Financial reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of US$5,013 million and net income of US$1,113 million, with higher basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations compared to the prior year. The company also declared a quarterly dividend of US$1.70 per share, continuing its pattern of returning cash to shareholders despite a modest decline in reported sales. The dividend follows an increase in April 2026 and, together with ongoing buybacks, reinforces the firm's use of capital returns as a potential earnings per share driver. The company's narrative projects US$22.7 billion in revenue and US$4.8 billion in earnings by 2029, requiring 4.6% yearly revenue growth and about a US$0.9 billion earnings increase from US$3.9 billion today. Before this report, the most optimistic analysts were modeling revenue around US$21.5 billion and earnings of about US$4.6 billion by 2029, while also noting regulatory and interest-rate-sensitive risks.
