KeyCorp posted second quarter 2026 EPS of $0.44, a 26% year-over-year increase that beat the $0.42 consensus estimate, driven by accelerating commercial loan growth, continued fixed-rate asset repricing, and disciplined expense management. Revenue grew 7% year-over-year with pre-provision net revenue up 9%, and the company raised its full-year guidance on revenue (now 7-8%), net interest income (9-11%), and average loan growth (4-5% total, 8-10% commercial), reflecting stronger-than-expected first-half momentum.
