Total fair value of securities in an unrealized-loss position increased to $31,109 million at June 30, 2026 from $19,749 million at December 31, 2025, while gross unrealized losses increased to $1,488 million from $1,269 million. Management determined that the losses were attributable to non-credit factors, did not recognize them in earnings, and stated that it did not intend or expect to be required to sell the securities before recovery of their remaining amortized cost basis.
