Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when Huntington Bancshares (HBAN - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 22, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis regional bank holding company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.38 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -5%.

Revenues are expected to be $2.82 billion, up 31.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 6.75% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Huntington Bancshares?For Huntington Bancshares, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #5.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Huntington Bancshares will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Huntington Bancshares would post earnings of $0.39 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.39, delivering no surprise.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Huntington Bancshares doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAnother stock from the Zacks Banks - Midwest industry, Enterprise Financial Services (EFSC - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $1.38 per share for the quarter ended September 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +15%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $189.81 million, down 7.4% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for Enterprise Financial Services has been revised 1.4% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a lower Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -5.07%.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Enterprise Financial Services will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed EPS estimates just once.

New specialization builds on Huntington's existing reinsurance trust platform and decades of experience serving captive insurance clients

, /PRNewswire/ -- The Huntington National Bank today announced the expansion of its captive insurance banking capabilities, further strengthening Huntington Commercial Bank's ability to provide comprehensive financial solutions to captive insurance companies and other alternative risk transfer structures.

The expanded capabilities build on Huntington's existing work with captive insurance clients and its growing reinsurance trust platform. The specialized team helps captive insurance clients manage collateral needs through solutions such as letters of credit and reinsurance trusts, while connecting clients to the broader Huntington platform.

With this expansion, the bank is bringing additional specialization, leadership and coordination to better support captive insurance companies of varying sizes, including global captives seeking streamlined access to banking, collateral and risk-management solutions.

"We've served captive insurance clients for decades, and this expansion reflects our continued investment in specialized capabilities that meet increasingly complex client needs," said Andy Arduini, senior managing director of Global Specialty Products at Huntington. "By combining experienced people, a strong platform and Huntington's balance sheet, we're positioned to deliver a more comprehensive model for clients across the captive insurance industry."

The expanded offering will be led by Jordan Mosher as head of captive insurance banking. Mosher previously helped build Huntington's reinsurance trust vertical and will work with leaders across Global Specialty Products to bring an end-to-end approach to the market. Joe McDonald will serve as managing director and support the continued development and delivery of the bank's captive insurance solutions.

"Captive insurance companies need partners who understand the industry, can move with speed and certainty, and can deliver collateral solutions as part of a broader banking relationship," Mosher said. "Our goal is to make it easier for clients to access the solutions they need through one coordinated team."

The expansion is the latest example of Huntington Commercial Bank's continued investment in specialized industry expertise. In addition to expanding into new geographic markets, Huntington Commercial Bank in recent years has launched a broad range of industry verticals and strengthened its national capabilities to serve clients across the country.

These 3 Stocks Under $20 Have Wall Street Looking Past the Share PriceHuntington Bancshares NASDAQ: HBAN said it has revised its 2027 earnings outlook as higher-for-longer interest rates, deposit pricing pressure and competition in selected lending categories weigh on net interest margin and loan growth expectations.

Speaking at the Barclays 2026 Global Financial Services Conference, Chairman and CEO Steve Steinour said the bank’s operating performance has remained solid despite an environment that has become “materially different and more challenging” than management expected at the start of the year. The company now expects 2027 earnings per share of $1.75 to $1.83, while planning to increase its share repurchase program by $200 million to between $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion next year.

Margin and Lending Pressures Drive Outlook Revision Wintrust: A Quiet Regional Bank Posting Loud ResultsSteinour said Huntington’s primary challenge has been a change in interest-rate and competitive conditions rather than a weakening in the company’s core franchise. Market expectations for Federal Reserve policy shifted from anticipated rate cuts to expectations for rate increases, raising funding costs and contributing to more intense competition for deposits, he said.

“The economics of incremental growth have become tighter than we anticipated at the start of the year,” Steinour said.

MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Chief Financial Officer Zach Wasserman said the bank’s organic loan growth run rate has declined to about 6%, from a prior range of roughly 8% to 9%. He attributed the change in part to accelerated commercial real estate paydowns, residential mortgage pressure and increased competition in indirect auto lending.

Wasserman said average daily loan balances are expected to decline by about one-half of 1% in the third quarter from the second quarter, though end-of-period loans are expected to rise sequentially. The company expects full-year loan growth of approximately 36% year over year and deposit growth of approximately 33%, both within its prior stated ranges.

In indirect auto, Steinour said Huntington has reduced production rather than accept returns below its underwriting thresholds. A year ago, the bank was originating roughly $850 million in auto loans at a mid-to-high-teens return, he said. Current production is closer to $500 million, with a 12% return representing the company’s minimum acceptable level.

Commercial real estate refinancing has also accelerated beyond expectations, according to Steinour. He said refinancing activity has been about twice what management expected, as borrowers move from floating-rate loans to fixed-rate financing and capital providers such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac increase refinancing activity.

Net Interest Margin Expected to Remain Relatively Flat Wasserman said Huntington’s net interest margin, which was 3.21% in the second quarter, is expected to increase into the low-to-mid 3.20% range in the third quarter. However, the bank now expects margin to remain in that range in the fourth quarter and potentially through the latter half of 2027 under a lower-end operating scenario.

Higher yields on repricing loans and securities are helping offset funding pressures, but the company expects deposit costs to rise gradually as balances reprice. Wasserman said a change in the Federal Reserve’s policy stance, either higher or lower, could provide additional flexibility and support margins in the mid-to-high 3.20% range next year.

Fee Businesses and Cost Actions Provide Offsets Huntington highlighted continued growth in its fee-based businesses, which Steinour said have expanded at a 14% compound annual growth rate since the second quarter of 2024 on an organic basis. Capital markets revenue has grown at a 30% compound annual rate, while wealth and private banking revenue has grown at a 10% rate and payments revenue at a 9% rate, according to the presentation.

Wasserman said fee revenue growth is expected to exceed the company’s original 2026 target by 4 percentage points. Third-quarter fee revenue is expected to be in the $730 million range, with growth expected to resume sequentially in the fourth quarter. Huntington expects high-single-digit to low-double-digit annual growth in fee revenue going forward.

The bank is also increasing its expense reengineering efforts. Management expects expenses for the current year to remain within its previously stated range, with a fourth-quarter efficiency ratio of roughly 55.5% to 56%.

Integration Progress and Capital Returns Steinour said integrations of Veritex and Cadence are proceeding at or ahead of plan. Huntington achieved its $70 million Veritex cost-synergy target in the second quarter, while Cadence is tracking toward a $365 million run-rate target by the fourth quarter. The bank increased its cumulative revenue-synergy outlook from the two transactions to approximately $600 million through 2028, compared with its original $500 million estimate.

The company has repurchased approximately $360 million of shares year to date out of a planned $550 million for the current year. Wasserman said the planned 2027 buyback increase reflects lower expected loan growth and the resulting availability of additional capital.

Despite the revised outlook, management expects earnings per share to grow more than 20% from fiscal 2025 levels, tangible book value per share to increase more than 10% from current levels, and return on tangible common equity to reach the low-to-high 17% range in 2027. Wasserman said Huntington continues to target returns above 18% over the longer term.

MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Huntington Bancshares NASDAQ: HBAN executives said the bank delivered a strong second quarter of 2026, citing organic loan and deposit growth, higher revenue, improving profitability and completion of the Cadence systems conversion as key milestones.

Chairman, President and CEO Stephen Steinour called the quarter “exceptional,” saying Huntington is now at an “inflection point” after completing recent integrations and expanding its footprint. He said customer activity remains steady, commercial demand is broad-based and visibility on economic trends has improved since the prior quarter.

Huntington Bancshares Is Chasing a Bigger Growth Story“Our core businesses are performing at a high level, our conversions are complete, and we are positioned to capture the benefits of our investments, as well as the recent partnerships and expanded footprint,” Steinour said.

Cadence Conversion Completed as Management Shifts Focus to Growth Brant Standridge, Huntington’s President of Consumer and Regional Banking, said the bank completed the Cadence systems conversion 235 days after announcement. He said the process included training and transitioning 4,500 colleagues onto Huntington systems, onboarding hundreds of thousands of customers, converting ATM and ITM locations and changing more than 4,000 signs.

Regional Banking Sector Near a Critical Inflection PointStandridge said Huntington grew deposits during the conversion weekend and in the weeks that followed, a result he described as unusual for a bank conversion. He said the company is retaining about 80% of maturing CD balances in the Cadence footprint, reducing higher-cost wholesale funding and brokered deposits, and increasing checking account growth.

Management said Huntington remains on track to achieve $365 million in Cadence cost synergies in the fourth quarter. Chief Financial Officer Zach Wasserman said the combined Veritex and Cadence run-rate expense synergy target remains $435 million by the fourth quarter.

Standridge also highlighted early revenue opportunities from the Cadence combination, including nearly $1 billion of expanding client commitments across energy, commercial real estate and auto floorplan businesses. He said Huntington has completed more than 10 capital markets transactions with customers in the Cadence footprint since closing, generating approximately $12 million of fees.

Loan and Deposit Growth Remain Central to Results Wasserman said average loans increased $15 billion, or 8.6%, sequentially in the second quarter. Normalizing for the day-count effect of the Cadence balance sheet in the first quarter, average loans increased $2.2 billion, or 1.2%, which he described as strong organic expansion.

Loan growth was led by commercial and industrial categories, including corporate and specialty areas. Wasserman cited activity from the financial institutions group, industrials, diversified businesses, corporate mortgage finance and Native American financial services. Commercial real estate balances declined modestly as planned, while auto production was lower.

Average deposits increased $18.8 billion, or 9.2%, sequentially. On an organic basis adjusted for the Cadence day-count effect, deposits grew $4 billion, or 1.8%, outpacing loan growth. Wasserman said primary banking relationships increased across customer segments, with consumer relationships up 4%, business banking up 5% and commercial up 8% year-over-year.

Deposit costs increased six basis points during the quarter, including about one basis point from the full-quarter impact of Cadence and five basis points from the legacy Huntington franchise.

Revenue Momentum Includes Strong Fee Growth Net interest income was $2.1 billion, up 8.5% sequentially, supported by what management called strong core-funded asset growth. Huntington’s net interest margin increased 10 basis points year-over-year but declined three basis points sequentially. Wasserman said the second quarter should represent the trough for net interest margin, with expected improvement from fixed-asset repricing, liquidity optimization and Cadence deposit portfolio actions.

Value-added fee revenues rose more than 60% year-over-year. Excluding the impacts of Cadence, the Janney Capital Markets business acquisition and last year’s sale of the corporate trust business, Wasserman said value-added fee revenue increased about 30% organically year-over-year.

In specific fee categories, payments increased 10% year-over-year, wealth management rose 12%, capital markets increased 46% and loan and deposit fees grew 19%.

Wasserman said adjusted pre-provision net revenue increased 12% quarter-over-quarter, while value-added fee revenues increased 15%. He also said Huntington generated 210 basis points of positive operating leverage on a trailing 12-month basis.

Outlook Emphasizes NII Pressure, Fee Upside and 2027 Targets Management’s full-year outlook drew scrutiny during the question-and-answer portion of the call after UBS analyst Erika Najarian noted that the stock opened down about 5% and asked about the unchanged outlook despite a lower net interest income expectation.

Wasserman said overall revenue remains robust, but the spread outlook has shifted more toward volume-driven growth. He said Huntington expects net interest income to be at the bottom end of its range or perhaps modestly below it, largely because of deposit cost pressure. At the same time, he said fee income is tracking toward the high end of guidance or potentially above it.

Wasserman said the company expects net interest margin to rise modestly into the low 320-basis-point range in the third quarter and into the mid- to high-320s in the fourth quarter. He also said management expects loans and deposits to grow sequentially in the second half of the year.

Executives reiterated longer-term targets for 2027, including earnings per share of $1.90 to $1.93 and return on tangible common equity in the 18% to 19% range. Wasserman said Huntington expects EPS growth of approximately 30% from the 2025 level, supported by organic growth, fee income expansion, revenue synergies and expense discipline.

Credit and Capital Remain Areas of Management Confidence Wasserman said credit performance remains strong and consistent with expectations. Net charge-offs are trending near the low end of the company’s guided range, and Huntington now expects charge-offs to be in the lower half of its 25- to 35-basis-point range for the year. He said criticized assets declined during the quarter, while nonperforming assets remain elevated because of government-guaranteed loan categories with “virtually no loss content” and downgrades of select commercial credits.

Huntington completed $310 million of its planned $550 million share repurchase program for 2026 year-to-date. Wasserman said the company expects to repurchase an additional $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion in 2027.

Steinour closed the call by saying Huntington has become a “stronger, more diversified super regional bank” through new markets, broader business mix and added capabilities. He said the company remains on track for its 2027 financial targets, with the fourth quarter expected to provide a clearer view of the earnings power of the combined franchise.

Basis of Presentation

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Huntington's results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this document, the financial supplement, conference call slides, or the Form 8-K related to this document, all of which can be found in the Investor Relations section of Huntington's website, http://www.huntington.com. 

Annualized Data

Certain returns, yields, performance ratios, or quarterly growth rates are presented on an "annualized" basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. For example, loan and deposit growth rates, as well as net charge-off percentages, are most often expressed in terms of an annual rate like 8%. As such, a 2% growth rate for a quarter would represent an annualized 8% growth rate.

Fully-Taxable Equivalent Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income had been taxable at statutory rates. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt municipal securities, and certain lease assets, on a common basis that facilitates comparison of results to results of competitors.

Rounding

Please note that items in this document may not add due to rounding.

Notable Items

From time to time, revenue, expenses, or taxes are impacted by items judged by management to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by management at that time to be infrequent or short term in nature. We refer to such items as "Notable Items." Management believes it is useful to consider certain financial metrics with and without Notable Items, in order to enable a better understanding of company results, increase comparability of period-to-period results, and to evaluate and forecast those results.
