Huntington Bancshares shares have risen by 24% in the past year, outperforming the market with a 15% return since my recent buy recommendation. Strong Q2 results show solid deposit growth and loan performance, positioning HBAN for further earnings growth in 2025. Despite a higher valuation, HBAN's strong credit quality and limited CRE losses make it a safer investment with potential for modest multiple expansions.

Davidson Greetings, welcome to the Huntington Bancshares Second Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call.

The headline numbers for Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) give insight into how the company performed in the quarter ended June 2024, but it may be worthwhile to compare some of its key metrics to Wall Street estimates and the year-ago actuals.

Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.30 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.28 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.35 per share a year ago.

Escalating expenses and weakening asset quality are likely to have hurt Huntington's (HBAN) second-quarter performance. A rise in fee income and NII are likely to have offered some support.

Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.
