Huntington Bancshares stock falls after a guidance reset

Huntington Bancshares stock (ISIN US4461501045) traded at USD 15.82 on September 16, 2026, after the bank reset its fiscal 2027 earnings outlook and investors marked down the shares. The move came after the company cut its FY 2027 adjusted EPS target to USD 1.75 to USD 1.83 from USD 1.90 to USD 1.93, according to StockTitan on September 16, 2026.

Guidance took the lead

The same investor presentation lifted the curtain on a more cautious 2026 operating plan. Huntington now expects about 35 percent net interest income growth, roughly 36 percent average loan growth, and about 33 percent average deposit growth versus FY 2025 baselines, while core expenses are set to rise about 32.5 percent to 33.5 percent, according to StockTitan on September 16, 2026. That is a clear reset from the prior 39 percent to 43 percent NII growth range and implies a slower earnings ramp for 2026 and 2027.

MarketBeat said on September 16, 2026 that Huntington's quarterly EPS was USD 0.39 and revenue was USD 2.86 billion, while Wall Street's average price target stood at USD 20.24. The same report put FY 2026 EPS guidance at USD 1.52 to USD 1.54, below the USD 1.60 consensus, and said the stock opened at USD 16.75.

Dividend and valuation

Dividend data added another dated reference point. MarketBeat said on September 17, 2026 that shareholders of record on September 17, 2026 will receive USD 0.155 per share, equal to USD 0.62 on an annualized basis and a dividend yield of 3.7 percent.

GuruFocus said on September 16, 2026 that HBAN traded at USD 15.82, versus a GF Value estimate of USD 16.66, and that the shares were 5.0 percent below that level. The same source put the 52-week range at USD 14.89 to USD 19.46, which leaves the stock closer to the lower end of the band than to the top.

Stock near the low

For investors, the key question is whether the lower 2027 earnings path and the trimmed 2026 NII outlook are enough to offset the bank's still-solid quarterly run rate. The latest figures show USD 0.39 EPS on USD 2.86 billion of revenue in the quarter, but the new FY 2027 EPS range of USD 1.75 to USD 1.83 is the number the market is now pricing first. Huntington Bancshares stock closed at USD 15.82 on September 16, 2026.
