KeyCorp's Quarterly Dividend and Share Buyback Announcement
On May 13, 2026, KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) revealed significant financial moves that assert its ongoing commitment to shareholder returns. During a recent meeting, KeyCorp's Board of Directors declared cash dividends aimed at providing tangible returns to investors. The declaration includes a cash dividend of
$0.205 per share for its common shares, which is scheduled to be paid out on
June 15, 2026. This payment will benefit shareholders on record as of the close of business on
June 2, 2026.
In addition to the common share dividend, KeyCorp announced dividends for its various fixed-to-floating rate perpetual non-cumulative preferred stocks. The specifics are as follows:
- - Series D: $312.50 per share (or $12.50 per depositary share), payable to those on record as of June 1, 2026.
- - Series E: $15.3125 per share (or $0.382813 per depositary share), similarly payable to record holders by June 1.

These dividends are set for the period commencing March 15, 2026, and concluding just before the next dividend payment on June 15, 2026.
New Share Repurchase Program
KeyCorp's announcement also highlighted a robust new share repurchase program. The Board has authorized the company to buy back
up to $3.0 billion of its common shares. This new buyback replaces the earlier authorization of $1 billion, which had about
$280 million remaining. KeyCorp's management will determine the timing and manner of repurchases, which could include open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions.
Executive management views this program as an integral part of their strategy, enabling flexibility in terms of share repurchases based on market conditions, stock price, and corporate liquidity necessities. KeyCorp is committed to enhancing shareholder value through strategically planned stock buybacks alongside their consistent dividend payout structure.
