A major global banking player just posted impressive numbers—27% jump in adjusted net income hitting $16.1B, with all five business divisions logging record revenues simultaneously. That's the kind of synchronized performance that doesn't happen by accident.

Looking ahead to 2026, they're mapping out ambitious targets: 5%-6% NII growth, maintaining a 60% efficiency ratio, and committing to robust capital returns to shareholders. The narrative here is transformation in motion—ongoing regulatory navigation paired with structural improvements.

For those tracking macro trends and institutional capital flows, this signals how the traditional finance pillar continues adapting. When legacy financial institutions hit these kinds of synchronized growth milestones while simultaneously tightening operational efficiency, it typically reflects broader market dynamics worth monitoring. The capital return commitment especially speaks to confidence in both current positioning and forward momentum.

Attention all astronauts, the traditional finance mothership is loading supplies, with five engines igniting at 27% simultaneously. We're heading to the moon this time... --- The moat of TradFi remains strong. Let's see if it can break through the atmosphere by 2026. --- Improving efficiency while also giving shareholders money—that's what I call a true dopamine moment. --- Five departments flying together is no coincidence; it indicates that internal orbit calibration is quite good. --- Regarding the capital return commitments, it's clear they are confident about the subsequent trend; otherwise, they would have pulled back long ago. --- The issue is that the regulatory variable still exists. Whether this acceleration can be maintained stably depends on future developments.

Traditional finance's synchronized growth this time is indeed fierce, but to put it simply, it's just stockpiling bullets for future uncertainties.

Traditional finance can indeed analyze this wave of data, and it's not easy for five departments to hit new highs simultaneously... But the question is, how many of these buyback commitments will actually be fulfilled in the end?

How long has traditional finance been dead? And yet, they fucking came back to life.

Traditional finance is really strong this time, with five departments rising together without lagging behind—it's a bit unbelievable.
