The Bank of New York Mellon CorporationRecord Q1 revenue and net income surge driven by higher assets under custody and fee income from institutional clients.
Custody banks State Street, BNY Mellon, and Northern Trust are trading near all-time highs, significantly outperforming the broader banking sector. State Street is up 32% this year, BNY Mellon has gained 26%, and Northern Trust has rallied 29%, while the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index has risen just over 12%. The rally is driven by a flight to safety among large institutional clients during volatile markets, boosting assets under custody and fee income, along with higher net interest income from short-term investments. BNY Mellon, the largest custodian with $59 trillion in client assets, reported record first-quarter revenue of $5.4 billion, up 13% year over year, with net income spiking 36% to $1.6 billion. All three firms are set to report second-quarter earnings in the coming weeks, with BNY Mellon on July 15, State Street on July 16, and Northern Trust on July 22.
