HBAN Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +0.8% MEDIUM
HBAN Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.3% (FADE) Modest EPS beat on fees plus a reaffirmed (not raised) FY guide is a clean-but-not-spectacular print. NIM likely soft in Q2 (Fed-cash drag, Cadence purchase-accounting noise) with the ramp pushed to H2, so out-period estimates get little upward revision. With shares already +15% off the spring low and near 52-wk highs into the print (+3% last two weeks, closing the KRE gap), a small day-1 pop is prone to fade as the beat is milestone-verification rather than a numbers reset; STABILIZE-to-slightly-positive base case, fade if conversion/deposit-cost or acquired-book NPA commentary disappoints. LOW
