KeyCorp: NII Momentum and a High-Yield Cushion Make a Tactical Long
KeyCorp's Q3 print surprised to the upside and management's funding-cost stabilization is translating into meaningful net interest income growth. At $20.81, Key trades at ~11.8x earnings with a 4.7% yield and cheap book value support. We upgrade to Buy and propose a tactical swing trade to capture NII momentum and potential re-rating into year-end.
