State Street STT prepares to unveil its first-quarter 2024 financial results on Apr 12, before markets open. Analysts anticipate a year-over-year decline in revenues, while earnings are expected to remain stable.
STT’s previous quarter saw earnings surpass the Zacks Consensus Estimate, driven primarily by steady fee revenues. However, increased expenses, a drop in net interest revenues (NIR), and higher provisions put some pressure on the results.
State Street has a strong history of exceeding earning expectations, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters, with an average surprise of 4.98%.
State Street’s Projections and Estimates for Q1
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for State Street’s first-quarter earnings sits at $1.52 per share, slightly revised down over the past seven days but in line with the previous year. Our estimate stands at $1.42, indicating a 6.3% decline.
Revenue estimates suggest a 1.4% year-over-year decrease, with the consensus at $3.06 billion compared to our estimate of $3 billion.
Fees, Expenses, and Projections For Q1
Net Interest Revenues: Anticipated NIR for the quarter on a fully taxable-equivalent basis stands at $667.6 million, predicting a slight sequential decrease. The management projects NIR trend to be flat or down 3% due to current deposit mix expectations.
Fee Revenues: Revenue estimates for various fees show mixed expectations. While FX trading services and securities finance are expected to grow, software and processing fees might see a decrease. Overall, total fee revenues are anticipated to improve by 3.4% from the previous quarter.
Expenses: Operational expenses are likely to rise due to factors like information systems costs and strategic investments. Management foresees a 1-1.5% hike in adjusted expenses on a year-over-year basis due to seasonality.

The Earnings ESP for State Street currently stands at -1.93%, and with a Zacks Rank #3, it remains uncertain if the company will beat estimates this quarter.
