Consumer Loan Optimization Will Be Balance-Sheet Headwind for Truist in Next Two to Three Years
Business Strategy and Outlook
Truist’s business is primarily in retail and wholesale banking, following the sale of its insurance brokerage business unit in 2024. While this divestiture provided the bank with excess capital to reposition some of its lower-yield securities and for share buybacks, we appreciated the capital-light and less cyclical fee income stream, which historically provided a nice boost to the bank’s return on equity profile.
