The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation BK is scheduled to report first-quarter 2026 results on April 16, before market open. The company’s quarterly revenues and earnings are expected to have increased on a year-over-year basis.
In the last reported quarter, BK’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results were primarily aided by a rise in fee revenues and net interest income (NII). Growth in assets under custody and/or administration, and assets under management (AUM) balances supported results. However, marginally higher expenses were a drag.
BNY has an impressive earnings surprise history. Its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average beat being 8%.

BNY’s Other Key Estimates for Q1
Fee Revenues: The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total investment services fees (constituting more than 50% of the company’s total revenues) is pegged at $2.50 billion, suggesting a rise of 3.6% from the year-ago quarter’s actual.

However, the consensus mark for financing-related fees stands at $55 million, which indicates an 8.3% year-over-year decline.

The consensus estimate for total fees and other revenues is $3.85 billion, indicating a rise of 6% from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
NII: In the first quarter, the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged. This, along with a solid lending scenario (per the Fed’s latest data, overall loan growth was robust) and stabilizing funding/deposit costs, is expected to have offered the much-needed support to BNY’s NII growth.
The consensus mark for NII is pegged at $1.32 billion, indicating a 13.7% year-over-year rise.
Expenses: Because of higher restructuring charges and buyouts, BNY’s expenses have been elevated over the past few years. In the first quarter, overall costs are expected to have increased, driven by inflationary pressure, technology upgrades and a multi-year transformation plan.
