On May 15, we issued an updated research report on Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (HBAN - Free Report) . The company continues to benefit from organic and inorganic growth strategies while mounting expenses and stringent regulations remain near-term concerns.
Shares of Huntington have increased 8.5% in the last six months, outpacing the 8.2% growth for the Zacks categorized Banks - Midwest industry.
However, the company’s current-year Zacks Consensus Estimate has revised 3.1% downward, over the past 30 days. As a result, it currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
The company witnessed consistent organic growth over the last few years. It remained focused on achieving the best deposit franchise with the deposit balance increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0% over the three-year period ended 2016. Also, loans improved due to its commendable performance in commercial and consumer portfolio at a CAGR of12.5%.
On the back of its strong liquidity position, Huntington continues to expand through acquisitions. We expect these initiatives to support its performance and help it gain market share, going forward.
