Ameriprise Financial’s AMP second-quarter 2026 adjusted operating earnings were $11.07 per share, which handily surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10.72. The bottom line reflected a rise of 22% from the year-ago quarter.
Results benefited from higher revenues and an improvement in the assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) balance to record levels. However, an increase in expenses was a headwind.
After considering significant items, net income (GAAP basis) was $1.11 billion or $11.98 per share, up from $1.06 billion or $10.73 per share in the prior-year quarter.
AMP’s Adjusted Revenues Improve, Expenses Rise
Adjusted operating total net revenues in the reported quarter were $4.90 billion, increasing 13% year over year. The top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.79 billion. Total GAAP net revenues were $4.94 billion, up 13% year over year.
Adjusted operating expenses totaled $3.57 billion, rising 12% year over year.
As of June 30, 2026, total AUM and AUA were a record $1.81 trillion, up 14% year over year.
Update on Ameriprise’s Share Repurchases
The company repurchased 1.7 million shares for $774 million in the reported quarter.
Our Take on AMP
Ameriprise is well-positioned for impressive top-line growth on the back of its robust AUM balance and business-restructuring initiatives. However, elevated expenses (mainly due to technology upgrades) will likely continue to hurt the bottom line.
