Gekko Brief

AI summary

Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) closes at $15.88, below both its 50-day average of $17.27 and its 200-day average of $17.01. The stock is down 7.5% over one month, down 5.8% over three months, and down 9.5% over one year, though it holds a 4.7% six-month gain. The GekkoIndex reads 74, placing the stock in the Buying zone, while price sits 13.9% below Gekko Fair Value of $18.44.

This week's move centers on Huntington's lowered outlook: the company cut its 2027 EPS guidance to a range of $1.75–$1.83 and trimmed its 2026 NII and revenue expectations, citing higher funding costs, deposit competition, and softer loan growth. Net interest margin is expected in the low-to-mid 3.20% range, alongside a plan to increase the 2027 buyback program by $200 million. Shares fell 5.6% and separately 3% on related coverage. Wells Fargo cut its price target to $21 from $23 while keeping an Overweight rating, and Bank of America Corp DE disclosed a purchase of 14,482,331 shares worth about $256.8 million. Traders also bought 6,134 put options, a roughly 111% increase versus typical volume, in the last 30 days.

Looking ahead, Huntington's next earnings date is 22 October 2026, before the open, which falls outside a typical 20-trading-day window. The company has beaten estimates in 6 of the last 8 quarters, though its last report produced a 5% reaction despite matching estimates exactly. Analyst consensus stands at 8 buy and 6 hold ratings among 14 firms, with a consensus target of $20.19. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged a 1.1% gain over 5 years, positive in 2 of them.

Last earnings call, Jul 23, 2026 AI summary

What they said
Huntington Bancshares reported a strong second quarter characterized by the successful Cadence systems conversion, solid organic loan and deposit growth, expanding fee revenue, and disciplined expense management. Management highlighted execution on integration (Cadence and Veritex), progress toward cost synergies, and building revenue synergies across payments, wealth, and capital markets. Adjusted PPNR, net interest income, and fee revenue all increased quarter-over-quarter. Management reiterated longer-term financial targets including 2027 EPS of $1.90-$1.93, return on tangible common equity of 18%-19%, and tangible book value accretion >10%. They signaled confidence in accelerating growth in the back half of the year, with the fourth quarter expected to show the earnings power of the combined franchise. However, they warned of near-term headwinds to net interest income driven by incremental deposit costs and a more hawkish interest rate outlook than previously expected; they expect NIM to rise modestly into low- to mid-320 basis points by Q4. Management was confident and direct throughout Q&A, emphasizing multiple levers (deposit optimization, fee growth, expense synergies, share repurchases) to offset NII pressure.
Guidance
Company reiterated path to 2027 targets: EPS $1.90-$1.93, ROTCE 18%-19%, tangible book value accretion >10%. Near-term: expecting strong loan growth into H2 (2%-3% per quarter guidance cited), deposit growth outpacing loans in the near term, NIM to modestly rise to low 320 bps in Q3 and mid-to-high 320 bps in Q4, and robust fee revenue growth (high single-digit to low double-digit). Cost synergy realization: on track to attain previously stated Cadence cost synergies (Brant cited $365M in Q4; Stephen later referenced $435M). Expect 400-500 bps of positive operating leverage into 2027. Management also signaled continued share repurchases given perceived undervaluation.
Risks flagged
Incremental upward pressure on deposit costs due to competitive pricing dynamics; potential NII headwinds if deposit pricing continues to rise or rates move unexpectedly; spread compression in certain asset classes (e.g., indirect auto) prompting deliberate volume pullbacks; ongoing macro/interest-rate uncertainty (shift from expected rate cuts to potential rate hikes); elevated liquidity/cash levels that may depress average earning assets temporarily. (No new material execution/integration risks were raised; conversion largely presented as complete.)
