AI Analysis

AI-powered fundamental assessment

Confidence

KeyCorp presents a stark contrast between attractive valuation and poor fundamental health. While the stock trades below its Graham Number ($24.29) and Intrinsic Value ($48.08), the Piotroski F-Score of 2/9 indicates significant weakness in financial health and operational efficiency. Strong recent earnings growth and a sustainable dividend are offset by bearish insider sentiment and a severely negative technical trend (10/100). The disconnect between analyst 'buy' ratings and the deterministic health scores suggests a value trap risk.

Key Strengths

Trading at a discount to Graham Number ($24.29) and Intrinsic Value ($48.08)
Strong recent earnings growth (YoY +33.70%)
Sustainable dividend payout ratio of 50.31%
Positive earnings surprise trend in the last 4 quarters (3/4 beats)
Reasonable Forward P/E of 10.23

Key Risks

Critical financial health weakness indicated by Piotroski F-Score of 2/9
Strongly bearish technical trend (10/100)
Bearish insider activity with $3.6M in sales and zero buys
High PEG ratio (2.05) suggesting growth may be overpriced
Historical earnings volatility, including a massive -309.4% surprise in Oct 2024
