Over 2021–2024 PNC’s consolidated balance sheet was broadly stable on a large scale: total assets were about $557–562 billion, edging up from $557.2B in 2021 to a peak of $561.6B in 2023 and then a small decline to $560.0B in 2024. That limited movement (under 1% cumulative change) suggests no material expansion or contraction of the firm’s asset base over the period. The assets-to-equity leverage implied by those totals remained in the same general range once volatility is considered. Liabilities rose from $501.5B (2021) to $511.5B (2022) before drifting lower to $505.6B by 2024; liabilities as a share of assets climbed to ~91.8% in 2022 then fell back toward ~90.3% in 2024. Stockholders’ equity, however, showed the largest relative swing: equity fell sharply from $55.7B in 2021 to $45.8B in 2022 (equity/asset ratio dropping from ~10.0% to ~8.2%), then recovered to $51.1B (9.1%) in 2023 and $54.4B (9.7%) in 2024. The 2022 equity decline is a noteworthy fluctuation and could reflect one-off charges, higher provisions, market/valuation impacts or capital actions that affected bank capital—factors commonly seen across the industry during periods of rising rates and deposit/market stress. (The 2025 row contains zeros and appears to be missing data.) Overall the balance sheet shows resilience with capital levels largely restored by 2024 after the 2022 disruption.
