KeyCorp's Strategic Focus on Organic Growth Over M&A

KeyCorp emphasized its primary focus on organic growth, with bank M&A being a lower priority and only considering tuck-in deals that support its targeted scale strategy.

Management clarified that bank M&A is far down their capital priorities and would only be considered if it aligns with strategic and financial criteria, including minimal dilution.
The company is actively supporting client backlog growth and investing in technology and relationship banking to drive organic expansion.
KeyCorp's approach involves leveraging its strong capital position to support organic growth, with potential to accelerate returns through buybacks or balance sheet restructuring if macro conditions improve.
