Huntington Bancshares posted solid results for Q1 2026, driven by strong organic growth and successful acquisitions of Veritex and Cadence. Net interest income rose 19% from the prior quarter, while average loans and deposits increased significantly, reflecting expansion in commercial and consumer lending. Despite a slight dip in earnings per share, adjusted EPS remained stable and credit quality stayed strong with low net charge-offs. The bank is on track to complete Cadence integration in Q2 and expects continued growth in Texas and the South, supported by a strong balance sheet and liquidity.
