The beat was modest and driven by operating efficiency and loan growth, but net income declined YoY and noninterest expense rose. Watch for net interest margin trajectory given rate sensitivity and the impact of $8.3B in securities transferred to held-to-maturity. The CET1 ratio declined 83bps YoY, limiting buyback capacity.
