Moneyta sentiment
Where the published evidence leans after the desk debated it — not a rating or a recommendation.
+0.1 on a −2 to +2 scale.
What builds the score
Solid bars are analyst rubric scores; faded bars are computed directly from data. Claims dropped in debate count for nothing; weakened claims count at half weight.
Editor's note
Written after the debate settled — the rest of the page is the evidence behind it.
What the evidence shows
The evidence balance is Mixed (+ 0.1 of a possible + 2; was + 0.1 before debate) with high confidence. Reported revenues were $ 1,964,000,000 in fiscal Q2 2026 (fiscal quarter ended 2026-07-31), up from $ 1,953,000,000 in fiscal Q1 2026 (fiscal quarter ended 2026-05-01) and up from $ 1,895,000,000 in fiscal Q3 2025 (fiscal quarter ended 2025-10-31). Trailing quarterly net income was $ 509,000,000 in fiscal Q2 2026, producing a net margin of about 25.9% that quarter (509 / 1,964), versus about 26.7% in fiscal Q1 2026 and about 25.8% in fiscal Q3 2025. Market and ownership signals are intact: dividend yield TTM is 4.83%, momentum_12_1 is + 32.7% (74th percentile), beta is 0.80, 90‑day volatility is 21.0% (18th percentile), price was $ 21.21 on 2026-09-01 with market cap $ 22,633,796,630, and diluted shares outstanding were 1,067,128,554 as of 2026-07-31.
What the debate changed
The desk kept most claims intact; 93% of what the analysts raised survived the debate and the overall evidence balance did not move (it remained Mixed at + 0.1). The principal weakening was on net income and margin wording: net income figures were upheld but characterized as weakened in the surviving claims because quarter-to-quarter margin differences narrowed (522 → 509 between fiscal Q1 2026 and fiscal Q2 2026), which slightly changes the strength of any claims about improving profitability. One claim was explicitly dropped: the RevenueFromContractWithCustomerExcludingAssessedTax series (462 → 449 → 433) showed a quarter-to-quarter decline that contradicted an across-the-board growth assertion, and that specific growth claim was removed.
How this note was made
every stage ran before the note was writtenAnalyst desk
Mercer, Oakes, Nash, Ellis, Yates, Talbot and Archer. The desk: named AI agents, not people. Each reads one slice of the evidence and nothing else — no outside knowledge, no browsing — so every finding traces to a source you can open.
Reads the XBRL figures companies file with the SEC — revenue, margins, income, debt and share count, quarter by quarter — and reports which way the trend is running.
Reported Revenues were $1,964,000,000 in fiscal Q2 2026 (2026-04-01 to 2026-06-30, 3mo), up from $1,953,000,000 in fiscal Q1 2026 (2026-01-01 to 2026-03-31, 3mo) and up from $1,895,000,000 in fiscal Q3 2025 (2025-07-01 to 2025-09-30, 3mo).

Which filings the desk reads
The desk reads the annual 10-K in full — its risk factors, and how they changed since last year. Quarterly 10-Qs and event filings (8-Ks, insider Form 4s) are listed for context but not read line by line: the 10-K is where the material risk disclosures live. A brand-new company, or one we have only just begun tracking, may have no annual report on file yet — its risk analysis fills in once that lands.
On August 14, 2026, KeyCorp filed a Form 8-K notifying that it intends to redeem all outstanding depositary shares representing its Series D Preferred Stock on September 15, 2026, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $525,000,000 and a redemption price of $25,312.50 per share ($1,012.50 per depositary share) including accumulated and unpaid dividends through the redemption date.
8-K filed 2026-08-14The August 14, 2026 Form 8-K states that upon redemption the Preferred Stock will no longer be outstanding and all rights with respect to such stock will cease and terminate, except the right to payment of the redemption price.

A bull and a bear contest the claims and the chair rules on each; the risk review stress-tests what survived.
A bull and a bear argue the analysts' claims across two rounds, then a chair rules on each one. Only what survives feeds the score — the argument is shown, not hidden, so you can judge the reasoning yourself.
KeyCorp's reported quarterly revenue and net income series (fundamentals-0, fundamentals-1, fundamentals-2) provide a coherent company-specific basis for a favorable read: sequential revenue growth, stable-to-healthy trailing net margins (~25–27%), and contract-revenue line items that generally track the revenue gains. Market signals reinforce those operational metrics — momentum ranks in the 74th percentile and the stock shows a high trailing dividend yield (market-0, market-1), low short-term volatility, and a long-standing golden-cross technical context (market-3, market-5). ETF inclusion and meaningful institutional ownership (ownership-0, ownership-4, ownership-5) plus multi-outlet positive coverage and a named strategy hire (news-0, news-1, news-2) add breadth to the evidence that multiple investor channels and media are recognizing the company’s performance. Evidence strength: fundamentals and market signals are strong to moderate (direct filings and recent market data), ETF/mutual-fund membership and news coverage are moderate, while ownership flows and insider sales warrant careful consideration (mixed strength).

Fragility · computed, not argued
balanced0.34
37 surviving claims rest on 17 distinct sources; the heaviest analyst carries 19% of them, and 93% of what the desk raised survived the debate.
The read rests on a moderate breadth of source material (17 distinct sources) but a meaningful share of surviving claims trace back to a few influential contributors — the largest analyst carries almost one fifth of the surviving items. The high survival rate from debate (93%) means the desk did not discard much of its initial work; combined with source concentration, that raises the risk that any single corrected source or prominent analyst error would materially change the set of claims.

Analyst consensus
Third-party consensus, shown for context only — it never enters Moneyta sentiment.
Read means we pulled and handed it to an analyst; cited means a claim on this page points at it. Reading twelve quarters to state one trend is normal — the gap is shown rather than hidden.
Written by AI, checked against sources
The analysts, the bull–bear debate and the editor's note are AI agents reading only the evidence listed on this page. They can misread a filing or a headline, which is why every claim cites a source you can open and check yourself. The sentiment score is arithmetic over the claims that survived the debate, not a language model's opinion.
