Shares gained 4.5% to $2,316.47 on Friday morning, and earlier in the session they were up about 9%, hitting a fresh 52-week high.

The Raleigh, N.C.-based bank holding company posted a profit of $700 million, or $49.21 a share, for the quarter ended Dec. 31, up from $514 million, or $34.33 a share, the previous year. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting a profit of $519.4 million, or $38.96 a share.

First Citizens repurchased more than 460,000 shares for $963 million during the fourth quarter, Chief Executive Frank Holding said.

Stripping out certain one-time items, adjusted per-share earnings were $45.10, ahead of the $39.07 forecast by analysts.

Net interest income was $1.71 billion, above analysts' expectations of $1.69 billion.

Loans and leases were $140.22 billion, an increase from $133.3 billion in 2023.
