KeyCorp (KEY) is a good buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy and $50,000-$100,000 investment capacity. The stock has positive long-term growth potential, favorable analyst sentiment, and a strong technical setup, despite some short-term financial challenges.
The stock's technical indicators are mixed but lean slightly positive for long-term investors. The MACD is negative and expanding downward (-0.0183), indicating short-term bearish momentum. However, the RSI is neutral at 34.176, and the moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). The stock is trading near a key support level (S1: 21.625), suggesting a potential bounce. The pre-market price of $21.72 is close to the support level, providing a reasonable entry point.
In Q4 2025, KeyCorp's revenue increased significantly to $1.882 billion (+156.75% YoY), indicating strong top-line growth. However, net income dropped sharply to $475 million (-270.25% YoY), and EPS fell to 0.43 (-253.57% YoY), reflecting challenges in profitability. Gross margin remained unchanged at 0%.
Analysts are generally positive on KeyCorp, with multiple firms raising price targets recently. JPMorgan, Evercore ISI, Truist, and Goldman Sachs have all increased their targets, with most maintaining Buy or Outperform ratings. Analysts cite favorable regulatory environments, sector rotation, and steady fundamentals as reasons for optimism.
