INVESTOR ALERT: Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Announces Investigation of KeyCorp (KEY) on Behalf of Investors

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation on behalf of KeyCorp (“Key” or the “Company”) (NYSE: KEY) investors concerning the Company’s possible violations of federal securities laws.

On March 6, 2023, Key disclosed that it had revised its Full Year 2023 financial guidance, estimating net interest income will rise only 1% to 4%, compared to the previous estimate of 6% to 9%. On this news, Key’s stock price fell $0.60, or 3.3%, to close at $17.55 per share on March 7, 2023, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on March 13, 2023, following the collapses of multiple banks, investors grew concerned over Key’s liquidity. The same day, Odeon Capital Group LLC and BofA Global Research both downgraded the Company’s stock. On this news, Key’s stock price $6.59, or 40.7%, to close at $11.38 per share on March 13, 2023.

Then, on June 12, 2023, Key’s Chief Financial Officer stated that the Company’s second quarter 2023 net interest income was excepted to be softer due to “funding mix and deposit cost pressures.” The Company disclosed that clients were demanding higher interest rates on deposits, and that banks of Key’s size are likely facing higher capital and liquidity requirements by regulators. On this news, Key’s stock price fell $0.46, or 4.3%, to close at $10.22 per share on June 12, 2023, thereby injuring investors further.
