According to InvestingPro data, the stock currently trades at $16.78, with analysts’ targets ranging from $18 to $43, suggesting potential upside. The stock’s RSI indicates oversold conditions.
The firm cited KeyCorp’s strong third-quarter performance, which was primarily driven by net interest margin (NIM) expansion and net interest income outperformance.
According to Jefferies, KeyCorp continues to benefit from its strategic shift of moving low-yielding consumer mortgages into higher-spread commercial relationships.
KeyCorp has guided for its return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) to increase to over 15% by the fourth quarter of 2027, up from 12.5% in the third quarter, through 50 basis points of NIM expansion to 3.25%.
The bank expects this expansion to come from mechanical repricing and organic growth, with KeyCorp targeting a longer-term ROTCE range of 16% to 19%.
