KEY KEYCORP /NEW/ Insider Trading

KEY CFO Andrew Paine III sells 65,961 shares at $23.23; stock up 28.9% in 90 days as company faces -28.0% annual revenue decline.

Paine sold 65,961 shares (28.4% of his pre-transaction holdings) at $23.23, near the stock's 52-week high of $23.21, as KEY stock has risen 28.9% over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100% well-timed rate on prior sells (stock fell after each), with his prior KEY sale on 2024-11-06 producing -5.7% returns over 90 days. However, this sale occurs against deteriorating fundamentals: the company reported -28.0% annual revenue decline and was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. The timing coincides with a sharp recent rally rather than proactive repositioning ahead of weakness. Investors should monitor whether this high-level finance executive's reduction of exposure signals caution about forward prospects despite near-term positive momentum.

CHRO Mago sold 62,850 shares (19.4% of holdings) at $21.55; KEY revenue down 28.0% YoY, FY net income negative.

Mago Angela G, Chief Human Resources Officer, sold 62,850 shares at $21.55 on 2026-01-29, reducing her position from 324,265 shares to 261,415 shares. The sale occurred while the stock traded at $22.00 current price, 0.0% from its 52-week high of $22.00, suggesting the transaction executed near peak recent valuations. KeyCorp's fundamentals present a mixed picture: while the latest quarter generated $1,895,000,000.00 in revenue and $489,000,000.00 in net income, the company reported full-year net income in the negative with annual revenue declining 28.0% year-over-year, indicating material deterioration in underlying business performance. The sale's magnitude—19.4% of pre-transaction holdings—is material enough to warrant observation, though the CHRO role does not typically drive strategic capital decisions and may reflect personal portfolio management rather than a forward-looking business signal.

KEY Director Evans sells 32.7K shares (-35.8% of holdings) at $21.74; stock near 52-week high as company navigates -28.0% revenue decline

Evans Trina M, a Director in KeyCorp's Corporate Center, sold 32,695 shares at $21.74 on 2026-01-22, reducing her holdings by 35.8% from 91,414 to 58,719 shares and realizing $710,789.30 in proceeds. The sale occurred at a price -2.7% from the 52-week high of $21.69, near the upper end of the stock's annual trading range ($13.23–$21.69). This material reduction in personal holdings warrants attention against the backdrop of KeyCorp's fundamental challenges: the company generated $1,895,000,000 in latest-quarter revenue but faced an annual revenue decline of -28.0% year-over-year and reported negative full-year net income in its most recent fiscal year, despite recent quarterly profitability of $489,000,000. The timing and scale of this insider stake reduction signal a shift in executive positioning during a period of significant operational headwinds.

KEY Chief Information Officer Brady sells 50.0K shares at $17.61; -60.6% of holdings; stock near 52-week high.

Brady Amy G., Chief Information Officer, sold 50,000 shares of KeyCorp on 2025-08-08 at $17.61, reducing her holdings from 82,523 to 32,523 shares—a -60.6% reduction. The sale occurred when KEY was trading -10.3% from its 52-week high of $19.97, and at a price $0.30 below the current $17.91 level. Her single prior sale of KEY on 2024-08-29 (also at $17.61) showed a 90-day return of +15.4%, meaning the stock rose after that sale—evidence of poorly-timed prior selling at this ticker. KeyCorp's fundamentals remain challenging: the company reported a full-year net loss (latest annual results), -28.0% revenue decline year-over-year, and a highly elevated P/E of 111.94, reflecting severe earnings stress and a lofty valuation relative to near-zero profitability. A large reduction in holdings by a C-suite technology officer during a period of financial deterioration warrants investor attention to both her confidence in near-term recovery and the company's path back to profitability.

CEO Gorman sold 112,149 shares of KEY at $18.86 on 2025-07-23; stock currently $18.57, down 7.0% from 52-week high yet up 26.2% in 90 days.

Gorman Christopher M., Chairman and CEO, executed a significant sale of 112,149 shares (15.3% of pre-transaction holdings) at $18.86, reducing his stake from 732,044 to 619,895 shares. His cross-ticker track record shows strong timing discipline: 1 prior sell with a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00%, and his same-ticker history at KEY also reflects this pattern (prior sell on 2025-02-13 with -5.0% 90-day return). The current stock price of $18.57 sits 7.0% below the 52-week high of $19.97 despite a robust 26.2% 90-day rally, suggesting the CEO is acting near intermediate-term strength. Notably, KEY's fundamentals present significant headwinds: the company reported annual revenue growth of -28.0%, was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, and carries a P/E of 928.50 (a distress metric driven by depressed near-term earnings). This sale appears positioned within the context of a CEO exiting into recent strength amid deteriorating profitability trends.

Director Khanna Somesh buys 100 shares of KEY at $13.87 as part of cluster buy by 3 other insiders within 14 days

Director Khanna Somesh purchased 100 shares of KeyCorp at $13.87 on 2025-04-21, establishing an initial position while the stock trades 27.3% below its 52-week high of $19.97. This purchase occurs within a cluster pattern: 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, which may indicate coordinated or coincident confidence at this price level. Against the backdrop of the company's material operational challenges—full-year net income was negative and annual revenue declined 28.0%—the timing of this multi-insider buying activity warrants attention to understand whether insiders are viewing current valuation as attractive despite deteriorating fundamentals, or responding to specific operational or strategic developments not yet public.

Director Tobin Richard J bought 750 shares of KEY at $13.84; stock down -27.3% from 52-week high; cluster buy detected

Director Tobin Richard J purchased 750 shares at $13.84 on 2025-04-21 in his first open-market acquisition, establishing an initial position while KEY trades -27.3% from its 52-week high of $19.97. The purchase occurs within a cluster pattern: 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated board-level interest despite a deteriorating financial backdrop. Fundamentally, the company reported negative net income of $-410,000,000.00 in the latest quarter, annual revenue declined -28.0% year-over-year, and the stock has underperformed across the past 30 days (-12.4%) and 90 days (-16.9%). The concurrent insider accumulation at depressed valuations merits observation as a signal of potential board confidence, though the backdrop of ongoing losses and revenue contraction presents material headwinds.

KeyCorp Director Allard buys 180 shares at $14.03 amid 3-insider cluster buy and -28.0% revenue decline

Director Jacqui Allard purchased 180 shares at $14.03 on 2025-04-22 in a cluster pattern alongside 3 other insider buyers over the past 14 days. The company is unprofitable (net income of -$410.0M in the latest quarter) and experiencing significant revenue contraction (annual revenue growth of -28.0%). The stock has declined 12.4% over 30 days and 16.9% over 90 days from the transaction price, now trading at $14.52, which is 27.3% below its 52-week high of $19.97. The concurrent buying activity across multiple insiders during a period of operational distress and declining share price warrants attention to whether insiders are assessing value recovery prospects or reacting to external pressures.

Chief Risk Officer buys 10,000 KEY shares at $13.75; 3 other insiders also bought within 14 days as stock down -12.4% in 30 days.

Ramani Mohit, Chief Risk Officer, purchased 10,000 shares at $13.75 on 2025-04-21, establishing an initial position in KeyCorp /NEW/. This purchase is part of a cluster pattern with 3 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days, which may indicate internal alignment on valuation despite recent headwinds. The company posted a net loss of $-410.0M on revenue of $695.0M in the latest quarter, with annual revenue declining -28.0% year-over-year, and remains unprofitable on a full-year basis. The stock has declined -12.4% over the past 30 days and trades at $14.52, well below its 52-week high of $19.97, suggesting insiders are purchasing into a depressed price environment amid operational challenges.

KeyCorp CEO Gorman sells 57,736 shares at $17.46; stock down 5.6% in 90 days as net income turned negative.

Christopher M. Gorman, Chairman and CEO, sold 57,736 shares for $1,008,070.56 at $17.46 per share on 2025-02-13, reducing his holdings by 6.7% from 857.5K to 799.7K shares. This sale occurs amid deteriorating fundamentals: the latest quarter reported net income of $-410,000,000.00 against revenue of $695,000,000.00, annual revenue declined 11.8% year-over-year, and the stock has declined 5.6% over the past 90 days. The transaction price of $17.46 sits 10.1% below the 52-week high of $19.97, suggesting the sale occurred after recent downward momentum rather than near peak valuations. Given the CEO's continued large remaining position of 799.7K shares and the concurrent operational challenges reflected in negative net income, this sale warrants monitoring to assess whether it reflects response to company headwinds or portfolio adjustment amid wider market pressures.
