KeyCorp reported Q3 2026 earnings of $0.51 per share, beating consensus estimates of $0.46, with revenues of $2.05 billion exceeding expectations. However, the stock has declined 3.5% year-to-date versus the S&P 500's 12.4% gain. The company received a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating with mixed estimate revisions, and the broader regional banking industry ranks in the bottom 31% of sectors.

KeyCorp is set to report Q3 2026 earnings on October 20, with consensus estimates projecting 12.2% earnings growth and 7.6% revenue growth. Net interest income is expected to rise 8.4% supported by stabilizing funding costs and steady loan demand, while mortgage banking faces headwinds from elevated rates. The company completed the acquisition of Clearwater UK to expand its investment banking capabilities.
