Huntington Bancshares stock weighs lower 2027 EPS guidance

Huntington Bancshares stock was trading at USD 15.60 on Nasdaq on September 23, 2026, down 0.61 percent from the previous close. The immediate issue is the bank's lower earnings outlook for 2027, released at a September 16 Barclays conference.

2027 EPS range moves lower

According to Stock Titan, Huntington now expects adjusted 2027 EPS of USD 1.75 to USD 1.83. The previous range was USD 1.90 to USD 1.93, so the midpoint moved from USD 1.915 to USD 1.79, a decline of 6.53 percent.

The revised outlook also sits below the USD 1.88 consensus estimate cited in the September 16 coverage. At the same time, Huntington increased its planned 2027 share repurchases by USD 200 million to USD 1.3 billion to USD 1.4 billion, creating a capital-return counterweight to the earnings reset.

Second quarter built a higher base

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Huntington reported net income of USD 727 million and diluted EPS of USD 0.33, according to Stock Titan. The EPS figure was higher than USD 0.25 in the first quarter of 2026, while the company also reported net interest income of USD 2.052 billion for the latest quarter.

The contrast matters for investors. Huntington entered the guidance reset with sequential earnings improvement, but management now projects a slower profit path as deposit costs, loan pricing and commercial real estate payoffs pressure near-term growth.

Stock remains below its yearly high

At USD 15.60 on September 23, 2026, the stock stood USD 3.86 below its 52-week high of USD 19.46 and USD 0.71 above its 52-week low of USD 14.89. The market capitalization was USD 31.508 billion on the same date.

Huntington Bancshares stock was trading at USD 15.60 on Nasdaq at 11:16 a.m. ET on September 23, 2026. The 2027 guidance midpoint of USD 1.79 is now the key benchmark against the September price and the bank's planned buyback support.
