Associated Banc-Corp reported Q1 2026 net income of $119.6 million, up from $101.7 million a year earlier, with diluted earnings per share rising to $0.70 from $0.59. Net interest income increased to $307.2 million as deposit interest expense declined while loan interest income remained strong.

Total assets reached $45.6 billion, with loans at $31.8 billion and deposits at $35.7 billion. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $425.0 million, or 1.34% of total loans. Comprehensive income was $82.7 million, reduced by $36.9 million of other comprehensive loss tied to investment securities and cash flow hedges.
