Huntington Bancshares (ISIN US4461501045) saw Keefe, Bruyette & Woods cut its price target from USD 19.50 to USD 18.00 on October 6, 2026, according to Investing.com. The Market Perform rating was maintained.
Guidance now sets the tone
The target reduction followed a lower fiscal 2027 adjusted earnings per share outlook. Investing.com reported that Huntington Bancshares now expects adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.75 to USD 1.83, compared with a previous range of USD 1.90 to USD 1.93.
The lower range points to a more cautious earnings profile for fiscal 2027. The same report attributed the change to moderating net interest margin expansion and tougher competition for loan and deposit pricing, factors that directly affect a regional bank's spread income.
Second-quarter profit still expanded
Huntington Bancshares reported USD 727.0 million of net income for the second quarter of 2026, up from USD 523.0 million in the prior quarter, according to Stock Titan. Diluted earnings per share reached USD 0.33, while fully taxable equivalent net interest income rose 40.00 percent year over year to USD 2.07 billion.
The operating scale is substantial. Average loans and leases reached USD 189.3 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 42.00 percent from a year earlier, while average deposits reached USD 223.4 billion, up 37.00 percent, Stock Titan reported.
October earnings date is set
Huntington Bancshares has scheduled its third-quarter 2026 earnings conference call for October 22, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. EDT, according to the company's investor-relations page. The upcoming report will test whether fee growth can offset the pressure on net interest margins described in the revised outlook.
