While this women’s hockey spotlight fits Ally’s consumer brand push, the most optimistic analysts were already penciling in revenue near US$10.8 billion and earnings around US$2.9 billion for 2028, assuming auto centric growth and AI driven efficiencies pan out much better than the more cautious consensus, so this new exposure could either support those views or force a rethink of how much brand and technology really matter to the story.
