KeyCorp shares surge 18% as Scotiabank invests $2.8 billion: What this means for both banks

by August 12, 2024
written by August 12, 2024

KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) saw its stock price surge approximately 18% today following an announcement that the Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS) will invest $2.8 billion for a minority stake in the financial services company. 

This significant move is set to reshape the landscape for both banks, offering new strategic opportunities.

Chris Gorman, KeyCorp’s CEO, highlighted the importance of the investment during an appearance on CNBC’s “Money Movers.” 

He described the deal as providing “strategic latitude” for KeyCorp, which will use the funds to enhance its balance sheet and advance its financial position. 

Specifically, the investment is expected to generate an additional $400 million in net interest income, propelling KeyCorp’s shares to a year-to-date high.

Why Scotiabank chose to invest in KeyCorp

Despite KeyCorp’s positive market reaction, Scotiabank’s shareholders have shown less enthusiasm. 

BNS shares fell nearly 4% this morning, reflecting concerns over the 18% premium paid for a 14.9% stake in KeyCorp. 

However, this strategic move aligns with Scotiabank’s broader goal of reallocating capital from Central and South America to North America, as outlined by CEO Brian J. J. Thomson last year.

The investment offers Scotiabank a chance to diversify its holdings and strengthen its presence in the US financial market. 

As part of the deal, Scotiabank will also secure two seats on KeyCorp’s board, which could facilitate deeper strategic collaboration between the two entities.

‘Great deposit base’

The agreement is projected to close in the first quarter of 2025, marking a promising phase for both banks. 

Gorman praised KeyCorp’s “great deposit base” as a key factor in Scotiabank’s decision to invest. 

This partnership is expected to be accretive for KeyCorp, opening avenues for joint ventures and commercial opportunities.

However, Gorman clarified that this deal should not be interpreted as a prelude to a full acquisition. The focus remains on leveraging the strategic benefits of the investment rather than pursuing a complete takeover.

The announcement comes shortly after KeyCorp reported a 5% decline in quarterly net income, although it still exceeded Wall Street estimates. 

Despite this dip, KeyCorp’s shares remain attractive to income investors, offering a dividend yield of 5.20%.

Overall, the $2.8 billion investment from Scotiabank marks a significant development for KeyCorp, potentially driving growth and strategic alignment in the financial sector. 

As both banks navigate this new partnership, the market will be watching closely to see how these changes unfold and impact their future performance.
