  • Axos Financial Shares Plunge 9.7% on Earnings and Loan Quality Concerns
    May 3, 2026, 3:35 PM EDT. Axos Financial (NYSE:AX) shares dropped 9.7% after the company reported a rare miss in net interest income, a crucial bank profitability metric, due to early repayment of higher-cost deposits ahead of its Jenius acquisition. The bank also charged off a large legacy loan and reclassified a commercial and industrial loan as nonaccrual, indicating doubts about payment recovery. These issues weighed on investor sentiment, although Axos shares are generally stable, with only a few large moves in the past year. Despite recent headwinds, Axos shares trade 14.5% below their 52-week high and have nearly doubled in value over five years, reflecting ongoing investor interest in the digital bank amid easing geopolitical and inflation concerns.
