Comerica Inc. reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.25, surpassing expectations by $0.12 and representing a 27.55% year-over-year increase. The company posted revenue of $829 million, which was 5.74% higher than the previous year but missed estimates by $2.34 million. Comerica's Chairman and CEO, Curtis C. Farmer, attributed the strong EPS performance to higher-than-expected noninterest-bearing balances and proactive deposit pricing. Despite facing lower average loans and deposits, the bank maintained profitability through a strong capital position, flat net interest income, and disciplined expense management. The earnings release coincided with the start of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank spring meetings. Additionally, several other companies, including W.R. Berkley, AGNC, AZZ, BOKF, and others, are scheduled to report earnings later on April 21, 2025.
