Flagstar Bank Reports Third Consecutive Quarter of Profitability with Strong C&I Loan Growth
Flagstar Bank reported its third consecutive quarter of profitability in Q2 2026, posting GAAP earnings of $0.06 per diluted share and adjusted earnings of $0.05 per share. The results were driven by commercial-and-industrial (C&I) loan growth, deposit expansion, and reduced operating expenses. C&I loans increased by $2 billion or 12% quarter-over-quarter to $18.6 billion, while the bank also announced a $250 million share-repurchase program. The company ended Q2 with a strong CET1 capital ratio of 13.16%, leaving approximately $1.6 billion in excess capital above its target range. Balance-sheet growth resumed for the first time since 2023, rising by roughly $600 million after excluding FHLB advances paydowns. Flagstar also raised its EPS outlook to a range of $0.40-$0.50 for 2026 and $1.60-$1.70 for 2027.
