Huntington Raises 2027 Buyback to $1.4B as Loan Growth Slows to 6%
Question
Huntington Raises 2027 Buyback to $1.4B as Loan Growth Slows to 6%
Direct answer
Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) updated its multi-year capital deployment framework, establishing $550 million in repurchases for 2026 and expanding its 2027 program to $1.3-$1.4 billion. The $200 million increase in 2027 repurchases reflects capital re-allocation following a revised loan growth trajectory. Management adjusted its forward loan growth forecast down to 6% from an earlier 8%-9% target. With $16 billion in available liquidity, HBAN is pivoting marginal balance-sheet capacity toward EPS accretion via share count reduction. — bullish pressure on HBAN.
