Company results and guidance
Ally reported fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share of $1.09, outpacing the consensus estimate of $1.03. The company attributed the outperformance primarily to higher other revenue, which helped to offset a slight decline in net interest income.
For the coming year, Ally offered guidance that included a net interest margin in the range of 3.6% to 3.7%, a figure modestly below the consensus estimate of 3.74%. The bank also provided a retail auto net charge-off outlook of 1.8% to 2.0%, which represents little improvement relative to the prior year’s 1.97%.
Analyst moves and corporate staffing
Following the quarter, two notable analyst actions were recorded. TD Cowen reiterated its Buy rating on Ally, maintaining a price target of $55.00. Truist Securities adjusted its price target down to $50.00 from $51.00, citing margin pressure as the reason for the reduction, while retaining a Buy rating on the shares.
In addition to the financial and market updates, Ally named Rodney Hood as a senior policy advisor to the CEO. The appointment was noted in the company’s disclosures without expanded detail on the advisory role’s scope or timeline.
