What the filing says
Huntington Bancshares revised FY27 EPS guidance to $1.75–$1.83 (from prior undisclosed range), down from FY26E of ~$1.52–$1.54, citing sustained high deposit costs, lower loan volumes (especially CRE paydowns and reduced auto lending due to margin pressure), and reduced NIM expansion expectations. Cost synergies from CADE ($365M run-rate by 4Q26) and Veritex ($70M by 2Q26) are tracking at or ahead of schedule; revenue synergies also tracking better than forecast (~$75M+ in FY26). The company increased share repurchases to $1.3–$1.4B and targets FY27 loan growth of ~6% and NIM in the low-to-mid 3.20s (vs. prior mid-high 3.20s guidance).
Why this rating
Earnings cut is material but offset by strong M&A integration, fee growth acceleration, and capital return. Relative to $24.1B market cap, the revised EPS guidance and margin compression are notable headwinds; however, organic growth and synergy delivery remain solid.
