Truist analyst Brian Foran has revised the price target for KeyCorp (KEY, Financial), bringing it down to $16 from the previous $18. Despite this adjustment, the firm continues to maintain a Hold rating on the shares.

The analyst has also adjusted the earnings per share (EPS) projections for the bank, lowering forecasts for 2025 and 2026 by 1% each. The new EPS estimates are set at $1.45 for 2025 and $1.75 for 2026. This revision comes as a result of anticipated declines in investment banking fees and net interest income, attributed to reduced earning assets.

On a more positive note, the impact of these reductions is expected to be mitigated partially by a decrease in credit losses and an uptick in share buybacks, particularly from the latter half of 2025. These factors contribute to the overall outlook adjustments for KeyCorp.
