The primary engine behind the quarter's strength was net interest revenue, which climbed 25% year-over-year to $3.17 billion, powered by a 57-basis-point expansion in net interest margin to 2.90% and rising client sweep cash balances that ended December at $453.70 billion. Full-year adjusted EPS of $4.87 reflected a 50% jump from 2024's $3.25, underscoring the breadth of the company's recovery and growth trajectory. Total client assets rose 18% year-over-year to $11.90 trillion, while core net new assets reached $163.90 billion for the quarter alone. The company also signaled confidence in its outlook by raising its quarterly dividend 19% and announcing a definitive agreement to acquire Forge Global, a private securities marketplace, expected to close in the first half of 2026.
