State Street Corporation (NYSE:STT) reported better-than-expected second-quarter results on Tuesday.

The company posted quarterly revenues of $3.191 billion, an increase of 2.6% year over year and beating the consensus of $3.146 billion. EPS of $2.15 topped the consensus estimate of $2.03, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Net interest income increased 6% year-over-year to $735 million, primarily due to higher investment securities yields and loan growth, partially offset by a shift in deposit mix. Investment Management AUM increased 16% Y/Y to $4.4 trillion as of quarter-end, primarily due to higher quarter-end market levels.

"Productivity improvement remains a fundamental component of our strategic agenda. In 2Q, we completed the consolidation of our final operations joint venture in India, which will further enable the transformation of our operating model, unlock efficiency savings, and improve client experience," commented Ron O'Hanley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

State Street shares fell 0.4% to trade at $84.50 on Wednesday.
