Insights into KeyCorp's Upcoming Earnings

Financial stocks are basking in a post-election rally after Donald Trump's election win as investors anticipate a friendlier regulatory landscape for banks, brokers and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets"> consumer finance companies</a>.
With expectations of deregulation and possible tax cuts, traders are piling into financials at levels not seen in years.
The Financials Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) jumped over 5% last week, hitting fresh record highs, while weekly inflows surged to $1.573 billion—the highest in over two years. 
Regional banks, in particular, were on fire, with the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) skyrocketing nearly 11% and seeing $1.09 billion in inflows, marking its largest influx of money since March 2023.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Drivers: Deregulation, Tax Cuts Fuel Investor Optimism</h3>
Investors are betting on a wave of Trump-favored financial reforms that could benefit the sector. 
Richard Ramsden, a Goldman Sachs analyst, highlighted that "the market is pricing in the potential for changes to a number of proposed regulations, a step up in capital markets activity, as well as the potential for a reduction in the corporate tax rate."
Potential regulatory changes under Trump could include:
<ol>
<li>401K Reform: Opening up retirement plans to private investments could attract a flood of new capital.</li>
<li>Relaxed Antitrust Regulations: A more lenient antitrust stance may spark increased mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) activity.</li>
<li>Reduced SEC Oversight: There is limited clarity on whether the SEC will continue probing brokers' sweep pricing practices.</li>
<li>Crypto-Friendly Policies: Financial firms with crypto exposure may benefit from a more favorable regulatory environment and higher digital asset prices.</li>
</ol>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs's Top Picks Among Financials Stocks</h3>
In anticipation of these shifts, Ramsden and his team have identified several top picks across the financial sector. 
Here's where they see the biggest potential gains:
<ul>
<li>Large Banks: Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>).</li>
<li>Consumer Finance: Bread Financial Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BFH#NYSE">BFH</a>), Synchrony Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYF#NYSE">SYF</a>), and Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>).</li>
<li>Capital Markets: Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>), Apollo Global Management Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>), KKR &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), LPL Financial Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPLA#NASDAQ">LPLA</a>), Tradeweb Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TW#NASDAQ">TW</a>), Evercore Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVR#NYSE">EVR</a>), and PJT Partners Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PJT#NYSE">PJT</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Steeper Yield Curve Expected to Boost Regional Banks</h3>
As markets react to potential economic stimulus and reduced regulatory pressure, analysts anticipate a steeper yield curve, which could be a windfall for banks with heavy exposure to fixed-rate assets. 
Around 60% of both regional and large banks' balance sheets consist of fixed-rate holdings, positioning them to profit as long-term rates rise.
Ramsden's picks for banks that stand to gain the most from a steeper yield curve include:
Regional Banks: 
<ul>
<li>Citizens Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFG#NYSE">CFG</a>)</li>
<li>Comerica Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>)</li>
<li>First Hawaiian Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FHB#NASDAQ">FHB</a>)</li>
<li>Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZION#NASDAQ">ZION</a>)</li>
<li>Truist Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFC#NYSE">TFC</a>)</li>
<li>Huntington Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBAN#NASDAQ">HBAN</a>)</li>
<li>Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RF#NYSE">RF</a>)</li>
<li>PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNC#NYSE">PNC</a>)</li>
<li>Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLY#NYSE">ALLY</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Surge in Capital Velocity: M&amp;A and Trading Boost Expected</h3>
Trump's pro-business stance is also expected to accelerate capital velocity in the M&amp;A and equity capital markets, providing a strong backdrop for trading activity. 
According to Ramsden, large banks like Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) could be the biggest beneficiaries, while among regional banks,&nbsp;KeyCorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEY#NYSE">KEY</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Citizens Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFG#NYSE">CFG</a>)&nbsp;stand out.
Investment banks could also see a boost, with&nbsp;Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEF#NYSE">JEF</a>),&nbsp;Moelis &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MC#NYSE">MC</a>),&nbsp;PJT Partners Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PJT#NYSE">PJT</a>), and&nbsp;Piper Sandler Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PIPR#NYSE">PIPR</a>)&nbsp;positioned to capitalize on a more active M&amp;A market. 
In the alternative asset management space,&nbsp;Carlyle Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NASDAQ">CG</a>),&nbsp;KKR,&nbsp;Apollo,&nbsp;TPG Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPG#NASDAQ">TPG</a>), and&nbsp;Ares Management Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARES#NYSE">ARES</a>)&nbsp;are expected to benefit from an uptick in private equity deal flow.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tax Cut Hopes Could Supercharge Regional Banks</h3>
Financial stocks are uniquely positioned to benefit from any corporate tax reductions, given that 90% of their earnings come from the U.S. and are currently taxed at an average rate of 23%. After the 2017 tax reform slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, financials saw their effective tax rate drop by 10 percentage points.
Ramsden estimates that if the Trump administration pursues another tax cut, regional banks would likely see the most significant upside. 
His top tax-cut beneficiaries include&nbsp;Moelis &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MC#NYSE">MC</a>),&nbsp;American Express Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>),&nbsp;Evercore Inc.,&nbsp;Bread Financial Holdings,&nbsp;Piper Sandler,&nbsp;First Citizens BancShares Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCNCA#NASDAQ">FCNCA</a>),&nbsp;Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNV#NYSE">SNV</a>), and&nbsp;Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAL#NYSE">WAL</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insurers to Benefit from Steeper Curve, P&amp;C Pricing Power</h3>
The insurance sector may also stand to gain under Trump's pro-business policies. Ramsden expects potential increases in claim costs but sees positive momentum for property and casualty pricing.
Insurers with substantial U.S. exposure and a favorable position on the yield curve could see tailwinds.
Ramsden's picks in the insurance space include&nbsp;W.R. Berkley Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WRB#NYSE">WRB</a>),&nbsp;Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIG#NYSE">HIG</a>), and&nbsp;The Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>), which he believes are better positioned than brokers to benefit from these trends.

Shares of banking and private equity stocks are trading higher after Donald Trump won the US presidential election.

KeyCorp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEY#NYSE">KEY</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.35% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 15.45 million shares sold short, which is 1.98% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.78 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for KeyCorp has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing KeyCorp's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, KeyCorp's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.58%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Chipmakers Rally, Nvidia Smashes Records On TSMC Blowout Earnings, Gold Hits All-Time Highs: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Technology stocks, specifically chipmakers, could lead from the front on Thursday as a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41373163/nvidia-supplier-tsmc-reports-q3-revenue-earnings-beat-amid-rising-demand-for-ai-chips"> stellar third-quarter earnings report </a>from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) is triggering positive sentiment toward all artificial intelligence plays. Oil prices have rebounded and gold traded at a fresh record, while bond yields held steady ahead of a slew of market-moving data that include retail sales, a regional manufacturing activity index, industrial production, and jobless claims.
Earnings news could provide an offsetting impact in the eventuality of the market construing the economic data as inclement. Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is the first among the mega-cap earnings due after the market close and the results could evince interest among traders and set the tone for the tech reporting season.

Cues From Last Session:
Small-caps ripped higher on Wednesday, extending their recent gains amid hopes of a benign economic environment but the major averages opened on a tentative note. Solid earnings reports from financial companies and strong gains by real-estate and utility stocks helped the major indices close firmly in the green.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average turned solidly higher immediately after spending the better part of the session above the unchanged line. The 30-stock blue-chip average ended at a fresh high, although it did not have enough momentum to break above its Oct. 15 intraday high of 43,277.78.
The S&amp;P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite had a lackluster first-half before picking up momentum in the afternoon. 
Of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sector classes, only communication services and consumer discretionary stocks declined in Wednesday&#8217;s session.

Insights From Analysts:
Delving into the small-cap rally that has been on, LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist said after being stuck in a consolidation phase over the past few months, small-caps have picked up some momentum in recent sessions, with the growth outlook recently improving — underpinned by better-than-feared labor market conditions — and increased visibility into Fed rate cuts, he said.
The strategist noted that the Russell 2,000 Index, or RTY, has rallied off the lower end of its rising price channel. &#8220;Recent strength in the banking space — the RTY's largest sector by weighting — has further supported small caps,&#8221; he said.
Technically, a close above 2,275 would confirm a breakout from its current symmetrical triangle and leave&nbsp;the 2021 highs (2,243)&nbsp;as the next resistance hurdle to clear, Turnquist said, adding that momentum indicators have also recently turned bullish, adding to the evidence of a topside breakout.
&#8220;Despite the improving absolute performance, the RTY vs. S&amp;P 500 ratio chart still remains in a downtrend and below its declining 200-day moving average (DMA),&#8221; he said. A close above the July highs would validate a trend reversal in favor of small caps outperforming, he added.
Meanwhile, a fund manager thinks AI-levered companies could be defensive plays. Louis Navellier said, &#8220;Semiconductor demand has become the new proxy for global growth trends, being incorporated into almost everything, and also has geopolitical implications with technology export controls in place and China continuing to saber rattle about taking Taiwan back.&#8221;
&#8220;The upshot here is the inference that AI will still have legs even if we slide into a global recession in &#8217;25,&#8221; he added.

Wall Street Poised To Open Higher As TSMC Earnings Expected To Kick Off Rally In Tech Stocks: Strategist Says AI Trade Will Have Legs Even In Case Of Recession In 2025

KeyCorp Q3 2024 Adj. EPS $0.30 May Not Be Comparable To $0.15 Estimate, Sales $695.000 May Not Be Comparable To $1.270B Estimate

KeyCorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEY#NYSE">KEY</a>) will release earnings results for its third quarter before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KEY/earnings">opening bell on Thursday, Oct. 17</a>.
Analysts expect the Cleveland, Ohio-based company to report quarterly earnings at 15 cents per share, down from 29 cents per share in the year-ago period. KeyCorp projects to report revenue of $1.27 billion for the recent quarter, compared to $1.56 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On Monday, Baird analyst David George downgraded KeyCorp from Outperform to Neutral and lowered the price target from $18 to $17.
With the recent buzz around KeyCorp, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, KeyCorp offers an annual dividend yield of 4.62%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 20.5 cents per share (82 cents a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from KeyCorp, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by KeyCorp's $0.82 dividend: $6,000 / $0.82 = 7,317 shares
So, an investor would need to own approximately $129,584 worth of KeyCorp, or 7,317 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $0.82 = 1,463 shares, or $25,910 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
KEY Price Action: Shares of KeyCorp gained by 1.2% to trade at $17.71 on Wednesday.
