Research drivers

  • Can KeyCorp convert loan, deposit and repricing growth into durable earnings and returns?

    Bullish · Cooling · Updated

    The supplied evidence supports continued improvement in NIM, revenue and returns, while credit and deposit-pricing risks remain contained but unresolved.

  • Will KeyCorp's investment-banking franchise recover as delayed sponsor and middle-market deals resume?

    Bullish · Cooling · Updated

    Pipeline growth and management's delayed-deal and sponsor-activity outlook support recovery, but observed first-half growth and future conversion leave the trajectory conditional.
