KeyCorp's stock rose by 3.04%, reaching a 52-week high as investor interest surged.
HoldCo Asset Management has acquired a $140M stake in KeyCorp and is advocating for the removal of CEO Chris Gorman. This activist campaign aims to push the bank to utilize its excess capital for stock buybacks.
The implications of this investment could lead to significant changes in KeyCorp's management and strategy, potentially enhancing shareholder value.
