M&T Bank fourth-quarter profit jumps 41% on higher fee income

M&T Bank Corp reported a 41% surge in its fourth-quarter profit, driven by a significant increase in fee income, particularly from its mortgage banking operations. The bank's profit reached $2.14 per share, surpassing the analysts' expectations of $1.57 per share. This performance was bolstered by a 19% rise in net interest income to $1.82 billion, although this was offset somewhat by a 10% increase in non-interest expenses to $1.3 billion. Additionally, M&T Bank experienced a 20% drop in net interest margin to 3.61%, reflecting the challenges of a high interest rate environment. Despite these mixed results, the bank's strategic focus on fee income and cost management contributed to a robust quarterly performance.
