State Street
State Street's revenue rose 7.3% to $13.9 billion in fiscal 2025. Net income was $2.9 billion, up 9.6%. Its return on equity was 11.1%, up from 10.9% a year earlier. Its efficiency ratio was 72.8%, down from 73.3% a year earlier. It paid out $2.3 billion in dividends and buybacks. The diluted share count fell 4.4%.
Return on equity is net income as a share of shareholders' equity; return on tangible equity leaves out goodwill and other intangible assets. The efficiency ratio is operating costs as a share of revenue, so lower means the bank spends less to earn each dollar. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What State Street does
State Street provides financial services to institutional investors such as asset managers, insurance companies, wealth managers, pension plans, central banks and other official institutions. It operates through State Street Bank and Trust Company, a trust or custody bank, which holds and services assets for clients. It operates in more than 100 geographic markets and had approximately 52,000 employees at the end of 2025.
It has two lines of business. Investment Servicing handles custody (safekeeping of assets), fund accounting and administration, record keeping, foreign exchange and securities finance, and technology such as State Street Alpha and the Charles River platform. At the end of 2025 it serviced approximately $53.80 trillion of client assets under custody or administration. Investment Management, through State Street Investment Management, runs ETFs, index funds and actively managed funds, and had approximately $5.67 trillion in assets under management.
Fee revenue is a significant majority of State Street's revenue, so it depends on how much investing activity its clients do. Its competitors include other custodian banks, investment management firms, brokers, technology companies and data providers.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Intense competition in all parts of its business, which could hurt its ability to keep or raise profits.
- Costs and risks from developing new products and technology, such as State Street Alpha, wealth servicing, digital assets and AI.
- Fee revenue is a significant majority of its revenue and could fall if clients cut or change their investing.
- Interest rate risk, and credit risk from counterparties that are mostly large financial institutions.
- Risks from acquisitions, joint ventures and divestitures, including integrating the businesses it buys.

Valuation
Value State Street yourself from its earnings. A bank's cash flow is mostly the money it lends and takes in, so the cash flow model on other company pages doesn't suit it.
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from State Street's earnings per share of $11.34 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 15×, the middle of State Street's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (State Street's own P/E today) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 10%, 9% and 8%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
