KEY's strong NII, lending, and fee income growth support revenue momentum, while investment banking activity adds further growth opportunities.
KeyCorp reported robust Q2 results, with net interest income up 10% and preferred dividend coverage ratio improving to 7%. KEY's aggressive share buyback program, exceeding $700M in H1, reduced share count and is expected to boost per-share performance. The Series H preferred (KEY.PR.L) offers a 6.2% yield but trades at a premium, reflecting market skepticism about a 2027 call.
KeyCorp preferred shares offer stable dividend coverage and strong capital adequacy, but high duration risk tempers new allocation appeal. KEY.PR.J and KEY.PR.K, trading at discounts to par, presents better relative value and yield versus other fixed-rate series, mitigating call risk. The floating-rate KEY.PR.I has higher call risk due to its impending coupon reset, while the issue is already trading at par, making new allocations less attractive.
