BNY Mellon reported net income applicable to common shareholders of $1.39bn for Q4 2019.
This is a 67% surge from the previous year’s income of $832m.
The firm’s total revenue for the three-month period ended 31 December 2019 was $4.78bn, a 19% rise from $4.01bn in the corresponding quarter of 2018. The rise was said to be primarily due to the gain from the sale of an equity investment.
