Revenue Came In Lower Than Expected

KeyCorp posted total revenues of $1.55 billion, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.56 billion. However, the figure was above the year-ago figure.

Key Stats to Note:
 

  • Net interest margin up 30 basis point year over year to 3.15%

  • Provision for credit losses fell 13.6% from the year-ago quarter to $51 million

  • Average loans were $86.8 billion

  • Average deposits stood at $103.1 billion


What Zacks Rank Says

The estimate revisions that we discussed earlier have driven a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for KeyCorp. However, since the latest earnings performance is yet to be reflected in the estimate revisions, the rank is subject to change. While things apparently look favorable, it all depends on what sense the just-released report makes to the analysts.
