Analyst firm Seaport Global shows confidence in State Street, reiterating its Buy rating on April 20, 2026. The firm also increased its price target for the stock to $170 from $154. This positive outlook follows the company's report of record quarterly revenue of $3.8 billion, a 16% increase from the previous year.

The revenue growth is supported by a 15% rise in fee revenue and a 17% increase in net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the revenue generated from a bank's interest-bearing assets and the expenses associated with paying on its interest-bearing liabilities. This performance helped State Street achieve adjusted earnings of $2.84 per share.

As highlighted by Zacks, this earnings figure surpassed the consensus estimate of $2.60 per share. The company also achieved its ninth straight quarter of positive operating leverage, meaning its revenues are growing faster than its costs. This efficiency contributed to record assets under custody and administration, which reached $54.5 trillion.

State Street is also advancing its digital finance initiatives and using AI to improve operations. Following the strong results, State Street's stock gained 2.69% to trade at $149.34, a new 52-week high. However, the company's results were partly offset by higher expenses and provisions during the quarter.
