Intel stock extends gains after report of possible U.S. government stake
COLUMBUS, OH – Shareholders of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (NASDAQ:HBAN), a leading regional bank holding company headquartered in Columbus (WA:CLC), Ohio, with annual revenue of $6.95 billion and a conservative beta of 0.92, voted in favor of several key proposals during the company’s annual meeting held on Tuesday. According to InvestingPro data, the bank currently offers an attractive 6.69% dividend yield, though five analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations downward for the upcoming period. The voting outcomes, disclosed in a recent 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, confirmed the election of directors, executive compensation, and the appointment of the company’s independent auditor for the 2025 fiscal year.
The election results for the board of directors were as follows: Ann B. Crane, Rafael A. Diaz-Granados, John C. Inglis, Katherine M.A. Kline, Richard W. Neu, Kenneth J. Phelan, David L. Porteous, Teresa H. Shea, Roger J. Sit, Stephen D. Steinour, Jeffrey L. Tate, and Gary Torgow all received a substantial number of votes in favor, with varying degrees of opposition and abstentions. Notably, Stephen D. Steinour, the company’s CEO, received the highest number of votes against his election, although he was still re-elected by a significant margin.
The shareholders also voted on an advisory basis to approve the compensation of executives as outlined in the proxy materials. The proposal passed despite a notable number of votes against it, suggesting some investor concern over executive pay practices. Notably, InvestingPro analysis shows the bank has maintained dividend payments for 55 consecutive years, demonstrating a long-term commitment to shareholder returns despite market fluctuations.
Furthermore, the shareholders ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as Huntington’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2025, with an overwhelming majority of votes in favor.
The 8-K filing provides a detailed account of the voting results, reflecting shareholder participation in the governance of the financial institution. The decisions made at the annual meeting are critical to the company’s operations and strategic direction.
