Pacer Advisors Inc. increased its stake in Fifth Third Bancorp, making the banking giant an elite member of the Fortune List while investors show mixed dynamics about the stock. Despite outperforming estimates, FITB's stock underperformed compared to its competitors. Various investment and wealth management companies are either buying, selling, or adjusting their positions in the bank's stock. The bank, heralded as a promising dividend stock, reported Q4 2024 earnings per share of $0.85 and allowed customers early access to tax refunds. The bank's quarterly profit rose, bolstered by a fee income boost. However, some insiders reportedly sold US$9.5m of FITB shares, indicating hesitancy. Another highlight includes Fifth Third's future plans for a significant southern expansion, planning to open over 200 new branches by 2028. In the markets, price estimates and targets show a bullish trend. Still, the bank faced actions against unlawfully triggered auto repossessions and for opening fake bank accounts. Despite some negatives, it celebrated multiple successes including awards and recognitions for superior banking services and was rated well by various analysts.
