VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP (NASDAQ:VLY) Reports Q2 2025 Earnings: Revenue and EPS Beat Estimates

VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP (VLY) delivered a solid performance in the second quarter of 2025, surpassing analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings per share (EPS). The regional bank reported revenue of $496.3 million, a 9.3% year-over-year increase, slightly above the consensus estimate of $497.7 million. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.23, beating the forecasted $0.22 by 6.4%.

Key Takeaways from Q2 2025 Earnings

• Net Income Growth: The company reported net income of $133.2 million ($0.22 per diluted share), up significantly from $70.4 million ($0.13 per share) in Q2 2024. Adjusted net income, which excludes non-core items, was $134.4 million ($0.23 per share).
• Sequential Improvement: Compared to Q1 2025, net income rose from $106.1 million ($0.18 per share), reflecting continued momentum in profitability.
• Market Reaction: Following the earnings release, VLY shares saw a modest pre-market gain of 0.10%, suggesting cautious optimism among investors. Over the past month, the stock has risen 8.7%, indicating broader confidence in the bank’s performance.

Revenue and EPS Performance vs. Estimates

While revenue narrowly exceeded expectations, the stronger-than-anticipated EPS suggests effective cost management or improved net interest margins. The slight revenue beat may not be a major driver for the stock, but the earnings outperformance could reinforce investor confidence in the bank’s ability to sustain profitability.

Outlook and Analyst Expectations

Looking ahead, analysts project Q3 2025 revenue of $518.7 million and full-year 2025 sales of $2.034 billion. The absence of a formal outlook in the press release means investors will rely on these estimates to gauge future performance. Given VLY’s recent track record, the market may be pricing in continued stability in earnings growth.

Market Sentiment and Price Action

The stock’s recent performance—up 4.9% over the past week and 8.7% over the past month—reflects positive sentiment ahead of earnings. The muted pre-market reaction post-earnings suggests that while results were solid, they may not have significantly altered the market’s existing expectations.
