KeyCorp Q2 profit rises on higher interest income and fees
(Refiles to fix formatting) By Atharva Singh (Reuters) -KeyCorp posted a 63% jump in its second-quarter profit on Tuesday, helped by increased interest income and a surge in investment banking fees. Lower deposit costs at regional lenders in the U.S., which are falling faster than the returns on assets, have helped keep profit margins steady and boosted net interest income, even as loan demand remains uneven. Net interest income — difference between earnings on loans and payments on deposits — jumped nearly 28% to $1.15 billion in the quarter. KeyCorp expects its NII to grow roughly 20-22% in 2025 compared to analysts' expectation of a near 22% jump. Peer lenders, including PNC Financial and Citizens Financial, posted higher quarterly profits last week, driven by improved fee income and stabilizing credit trends, though NII pressures remained in focus. Recent rate cuts and easing bond yields have prompted some U.S. banks to cut losses on low-yielding investment securities and redeploy funds into higher-yielding assets to improve returns and liquidity. KeyCorp used half of Scotiabank's capital injection last year to sell about $10 billion of its low-yield investments. The banks' investment banking and debt placement fees jumped over 41% to $178 million. "With 189 U.S. IPOs already priced this year, nearly double last year's pace, fee income is shifting from rounding error to rescue rope for balance sheets," said Michael Ashley Schulman, partner at Running Point Capital Advisors. "Capital-markets activity is no longer the lonely ATM in the lobby; KeyCorp and the regionals are hearing the ka-ching again," Schulman added. KeyCorp was a joint book runner on Hinge Health's IPO in May 2025. The Cleveland-based lender reported income from continuing operations of 35 cents per share, up from 25 cents per share, reported a year ago. Shares of the bank were up marginally in premarket trading.

Citizens Financial's first-quarter profit falls as interest income declines
(Reuters) - Citizens Financial reported a fall in first-quarter profit on Wednesday, hurt by lower interest income amid economic uncertainty. U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies have sparked concerns over rising inflation and a potential recession, weakening consumer confidence and possibly dampening loan demand and spending. Its a sharp shift from the optimism at the start of the year, when the banking sector surged on expectations of robust loan growth and a revival in deal-making on hopes of deregulation under the new administration. Some of the biggest U.S. banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup were able to bolster their quarterly profits through strong equities trading amid volatility in the markets. But regional lenders tend to have smaller trading operations, which restricts their ability to take advantage of market turmoil during such volatile periods. Excluding one-time costs, Citizens Financial earned 77 cents per share for the three months ended March 31, compared with 79 cents a year earlier. Analysts, on average, were expecting earnings of 75 cents per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. Citizens' net interest income — the difference between what banks pay customers on deposits and earn as interest on loans — fell to $1.39 billion from $1.44 billion a year earlier, due to a decline in average interest-earning assets. The Providence, Rhode Island-based bank's capital market fees also decreased 15% to $100 million, due to lower M&A activity. Citizens decreased its provision for credit losses to $153 million in the first quarter from $171 million a year earlier. The bank's stock has lost nearly 17.5% this year, until last close.
