Fulton Financial reported stronger third-quarter results on October 21, 2026, with net income available to common shareholders reaching USD 114.1 million, or USD 0.59 per diluted share. The company said the quarter included the successful completion of the Blue Foundry Bank integration. The company announcement also reported operating earnings of USD 0.62 per diluted share, a non-GAAP measure.

Deposits expand as margins ease

Net interest income rose to USD 290.0 million from USD 284.3 million in the second quarter. The increase reflected higher income from loans and investment securities, although interest expense on deposits also increased. The net interest margin was 3.58%, two basis points below the prior quarter.

Deposits increased to USD 28.8 billion at September 30, 2026, up USD 571.0 million from June 30. Net loans reached USD 26.0 billion, an increase of USD 43.6 million. Non-performing assets declined to 0.52% of total assets from 0.54% three months earlier, while annualized net charge-offs fell to 0.14% of average loans.

Cost control supports earnings

Non-interest expense fell to USD 218.5 million, mainly because acquisition-related costs declined. Non-interest income decreased to USD 77.2 million, partly because the prior quarter included income from an equity-method investment that was sold. Fulton also repurchased 2.325 million common shares during the quarter at an average price of USD 24.14.
