What Zacks Rank Says

Currently KeyCorp has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Since the latest earnings performance is yet to be reflected in the estimate revisions, the rank is subject to change. While things apparently look favorable, it all depends on what sense the just-released report makes to the analysts.
