Smart Analysis
KeyCorp (KEY) · 10 metrics scored
Smart Score
Category Performance
WallStSmart pulls financial metrics like revenue growth, profit margins, and valuation ratios and scores each one from 0 to 10 based on how strong or weak it is. Those 10 scores are grouped into 4 categories: Growth, Profitability, Valuation, and Quality — which form the 4 axes of the spider chart you see. The categories are then combined into a final score out of 100, but not equally. Growth and Profitability together count for 60% of the total, because a fast-growing profitable business matters more than just a cheap one. That final number maps to a rating (Strong Buy, Buy, Hold, Avoid) and a letter grade, giving you one clear Stock Rating.
Investment Thesis
Strong fundamentals in market cap, operating margin, price/book. Concerns around return on equity. Overall metrics suggest strong investment potential with favorable risk/reward.

KeyCorp (KEY) Detailed Analysis Report
Overall Assessment
This company scores 81/100 in our Smart Analysis, earning a A- grade. Out of 10 metrics analyzed, 7 register as strengths (avg 9.6/10) while 3 fall into concern territory (avg 5.0/10). All four categories (Growth, Profitability, Valuation, and Quality) show healthy scores, indicating broadly sound fundamentals.
The Bull Case
The strongest argument centers on Operating Margin, Revenue Growth, EPS Growth. Valuation metrics including Price/Book (1.21) suggest the stock is attractively priced. Profitability is solid with Operating Margin at 33.60%, Profit Margin at 26.10%. Growth metrics are encouraging with Revenue Growth at 131.50%, EPS Growth at 40.10%.
The Bear Case
The primary concerns are Return on Equity, PEG Ratio, Price/Sales. Some valuation metrics including PEG Ratio (1.89), Price/Sales (3.11) suggest expensive pricing. Profitability pressure is visible in Return on Equity at 9.48%.
Key Dynamics to Monitor
Three factors to monitor going forward. First, whether Return on Equity improves, as this is the primary drag on the overall score. Second, margin trajectory, with Return on Equity at 9.48% needing improvement to support the investment thesis. Third, growth sustainability, with Revenue Growth at 131.50% strong but requiring continuation.
Risk Considerations
Based on the metric profile, this is a moderate risk investment. The weight of evidence leans positive, with more strengths than concerns. Investors should size positions according to their risk tolerance and maintain diversification.
Bottom Line
The combination of Operating Margin and Revenue Growth makes a compelling case at current levels. The key risk is Return on Equity, but the overall fundamental picture is positive with a clear path to maintaining or improving the current A- grade.
