How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2025 Q2
What's the benefit to doing a larger deal moving much above your current size? Because you seem to be in a great spot right now?
Show response
Bill clarified PNC isn't looking for a large deal now, organic growth is the path. Scale argument is about the race for retail deposits against big banks building branches in PNC's legacy markets. Technology and marketing spend efficiency requires scale.
Is this really a function of new bankers and share gains? Are you guys seeing broad-based improved optimism across those faster-growing MSAs?
Show response
Bill confirmed growth is largely PNC-specific share gain, not broad-based industry improvement.
