UBS analyst Erika Najarian reiterated a Buy rating on KeyCorp and set a USD 25.00 price target on October 5, 2026, according to Markets Insider. KeyCorp stock therefore enters the next earnings window with a target that sits above the latest NYSE quote.

UBS target follows second-quarter profit

KeyCorp reported USD 509.0 million of net income attributable to common shareholders in the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 425.0 million in the same quarter of 2025, according to Markets Insider. The same report states that quarterly revenue was USD 2.06 billion, compared with USD 2.80 billion a year earlier.

The standardized financial statements show diluted earnings per share of USD 0.44 for the second quarter of 2026, while net income attributable to common shareholders reached USD 509.0 million. Total assets stood at USD 191.317 billion at June 30, 2026, according to the financial statements.

Revenue growth remains the operating marker

KeyCorp's September 2026 investor presentation reported first-half 2026 taxable-equivalent revenue of USD 3.917 billion, up 8.00 percent from the first half of 2025, according to StockTitan. Diluted earnings per share for the first half reached USD 0.88, up 28.00 percent from USD 0.69 in the prior-year period.

The presentation also said KeyCorp repurchased USD 341.0 million of common shares in the second quarter of 2026 and expected at least USD 1.3 billion of repurchases for the full year. That capital-return figure gives the UBS target a second support point beyond quarterly earnings, although the target remains below the USD 26.00 level that Evercore ISI had previously assigned.

KeyCorp stock stays below its yearly high

The NYSE quote was USD 20.14 at 4:00 p.m. ET on October 6, 2026, against a 52-week range of USD 16.47 to USD 24.07. The quote was 16.33 percent below the 52-week high, while market capitalization stood at USD 21.7 billion on October 6, 2026.

The last Lang & Schwarz prior close was EUR 17.92 on October 6, 2026. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of KeyCorp stock.
