Should I Buy KeyCorp (KEY)? Finance YouTuber Analysis

The YouTuber recommends KeyCorp for its 5.9% dividend, seeing an opportunity in regional banks despite recent fears. He emphasizes KeyCorp's strong growth in Commercial Banking and Investment Banking, which helps smooth out risk. Crucially, KeyCorp has only 16% of its loans in commercial real estate, significantly less than other troubled regional banks, making it a safer option amidst the sector's sell-off.

“I think it's an opportunity here to lock in that high dividend yield in a good long-term stock.”

The YouTuber recommends KeyCorp due to its current valuation of 1.1 times Price to Book value, representing a 26% discount from its 2022 valuation. He also highlights its solid 5.7% dividend yield, making it attractive while waiting for a recovery.

“Key cor ticker KY fell as much as 9% last week before recovering some towards the end of the week but still trades for just 1.1 times on a Price to Book value that's above the discount we saw in March crash last year trading at just 73 times Book value but it's still a 26% discount to the 1.5 times valuation at the end of 2022 and key pays a solid 5.7% dividend while you wait”

The YouTuber suggests KeyCorp, a regional bank, for its dividend yield and growth in its Commercial Banking segment. Despite challenges faced by regional banks, KeyCorp has shown strong growth in C&I loans and investment banking fees. Lower interest rates are expected to lead to a turnaround in the stock price, complementing its consistent dividend.
