    PNC Raises 2026 Fee Outlook to 9% After Capital Markets Revenue Jumps 65.9%

    Question

    PNC Raises 2026 Fee Outlook to 9% After Capital Markets Revenue Jumps 65.9%

    Direct answer

    PNC Financial Services Group has raised its full-year 2026 fee-income growth forecast to approximately 9%, up from earlier guidance, backed by strong execution across corporate finance divisions. First-half capital markets revenue expanded 65.9% year-over-year on elevated advisory deal volume. The expansion reflects broader strength in middle-market corporate debt issuance and advisory activity. The upgraded fee outlook helps buffer net interest margin headwinds from persistent interest rate uncertainty.
