Ally Financial: Solid Q2 But Capital Concerns Remain

  • Ally Financial's Q2 results showed improved deposit costs and lower credit losses, but its capital position remains weak compared to peers. The company is prioritizing capital build through retained earnings over buybacks, likely delaying shareholder returns until at least 2027. Auto loan credit trends are stabilizing, but reserve coverage remains low, and asset growth will be constrained to protect capital ratios.
