Comerica Incorporated (CMA) has been a focus of investors recently, following a series of noteworthy events. The firm has seen multiple transactions, with investors and entities such as
Savant Capital,
Los Angeles Capital Management and
Yousif Capital Management increasing their stake. These investments are signs of faith in the company's future performance. Despite this, Comerica has
underperformed compared to its competitors in several instances, and Citi recently downgraded it. On the positive side, the bank has brought in new leadership with the appointment of
Floyd Kessler as Executive Vice President, Chief Business Risk and Controls Officer, and
Larry Franco as Executive Vice President, Director of Retail Banking & Operations. Comerca has also declared common and preferred stock dividends which have reinforced it as a top dividend stock. However, there seem to be operational challenges reflected in mixed results amid strategic shifts and economic uncertainty. Institutional shareholders largely control Comerica with
82% ownership. After some insider selling was reported, the company's Q1 2024 earnings are expected to decline. A new national partnership with
Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship has been launched while facing operational challenges due to tech update issues at its wealth unit. Despite these hurdles, they have managed to report increased cash flow and beat estimate earnings in Q2 & Q4.
