    KeyCorp (KEY) And The Repricing Story Behind Its Undervalued View

    Simply Wall St·09/29/2026 13:21:10
    Listen to the news

    KeyCorp (KEY) has drawn investor attention after recent trading left the share price at US$20.40, with the stock down over the past month and past 3 months. That price move now sits against solid reported annual revenue and net income figures.

    Across shorter timeframes, KeyCorp’s share price has lost momentum, with the 7 day return down 2.25%, the 30 day share price return down 6.89%, and the 90 day move down 11.50%. That softer trend contrasts with a 1 year total shareholder return of 12.50% and a 3 year total shareholder return of 125.72%. Together these figures indicate that earlier optimism has cooled recently as investors reassess growth prospects and risk around the US$20.40 level.

    Scan beyond KeyCorp and weigh today’s pullback against other bank and financial stocks in our hand picked list of solid balance sheet and fundamentals (25 results).

    Recent weakness has pushed KeyCorp back from its highs while revenue and net income remain sizable. Is this a reasonable entry point now, or does it pay to wait for a cheaper valuation first?

    Most Popular Narrative: 21.6% Undervalued

    KeyCorp’s most followed valuation narrative points to a fair value of $26.02 against the recent share price of $20.40. This frames today’s pullback as a sizable gap between price and that fair value estimate.

    The anticipated shift from net interest income headwinds to tailwinds is now supported by over US$9b of low yielding fixed rate assets expected to reprice in the back half of 2026 and about US$30b through year end 2027, which management ties to an outlook for net interest margin to move from 2.89% toward at least 3.25% and potentially lift revenue and earnings.

    See why 28 investors see KeyCorp as 22% undervalued.

    Result: Fair Value of $26.02 (UNDERVALUED)

    Still, the thesis around KeyCorp only holds if credit issues stay contained and fee income from areas like Clearwater UK meets expectations.
