The 20 Wall Street analysts covering KeyCorp have a median 12-month price target of $24, with estimates ranging from $22 to $43. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.
Of the 20 analysts covering KeyCorp, 11 rate it a Buy, 9 a Hold and 0 a Sell. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model ranks KeyCorp 64 out of 100 across roughly 4,600 US stocks as at 4 Nov 2026. None of this is personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances.
As at 4 Nov 2026, KeyCorp ranks 64 out of 100 on Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model — a percentile across roughly 4,600 US stocks, built from its factor families. Its strongest factor family is Revisions (91 of 100).
No one can know that. What the data says: the median 12-month target from 20 analysts implies +11.3% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks KeyCorp 64 out of 100 as at 4 Nov 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
No analyst covering KeyCorp publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for KEY are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business. The furthest attributed numbers are the current analyst targets: $22 to $43 over the next 12 months.
