First Citizens BancShares, Inc. provided net interest income guidance for the first quarter and full year of 2024. For the first quarter, the company expects net interest income to be down in mid-single-digit percentage points range with and without accretion. The decline in headline net interest income will be driven by the impact of lower accretion and higher deposit costs, only partially offset by higher investment yields.

For the full year, the company expects net interest income in the range of $6.9 billion to $7.1 billion, with the low end assuming 6 rate cuts and the high end, assuming 3 rate cuts.
