KeyCorp has been active in the investment realm in significant ways recently. In its balance sheet repositioning, the company sold nearly $7 billion of
low-yield investments causing a $700 million loss. They additionally received a
strategic minority investment from Scotiabank, with the Canadian bank buying a 14.9% stake for $2.8 billion. There are ongoing restructuring initiatives aimed at talking costs associated with significant quarterly losses. The bank's Q2 earnings for 2024 surpassed estimates, with net income reported at $237 million. A significant growth in
fee income helped offset lower NII. Following Scotiabank's investment,
KeyCorp's stock saw an 18.5% increase. Furthermore, Scotiabank completed an initial tranche of the strategic investment. A dividend of $0.205 was announced, with the company's stock reportedly still cheap after a 14% increase in a month. They also recorded a
net income of $183 million in Q1 2024 indicating an improved financial performance. This activity resulted in Moore's changing KeyCorp rating outlook to stable from negative.
