Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, on 12/12/25, First Horizon Corp (Symbol: FHN), Chubb Ltd (Symbol: CB), and Broadridge Financial Solutions (Symbol: BR) will all trade ex-dividend for their respective upcoming dividends. First Horizon Corp will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.15 on 1/2/26, Chubb Ltd will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.97 on 1/2/26, and Broadridge Financial Solutions will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.975 on 1/5/26. As a percentage of FHN's recent stock price of $22.82, this dividend works out to approximately 0.66%, so look for shares of First Horizon Corp to trade 0.66% lower — all else being equal — when FHN shares open for trading on 12/12/25. Similarly, investors should look for CB to open 0.32% lower in price and for BR to open 0.43% lower, all else being equal.
Below are dividend history charts for FHN, CB, and BR, showing historical dividends prior to the most recent ones declared.
First Horizon Corp (Symbol: FHN):
Chubb Ltd (Symbol: CB):
Broadridge Financial Solutions (Symbol: BR):
In general, dividends are not always predictable, following the ups and downs of company profits over time. Therefore, a good first due diligence step in forming an expectation of annual yield going forward, is looking at the history above, for a sense of stability over time. This can help in judging whether the most recent dividends from these companies are likely to continue. If they do continue, the current estimated yields on annualized basis would be 2.63% for First Horizon Corp, 1.29% for Chubb Ltd, and 1.73% for Broadridge Financial Solutions.
In Wednesday trading, First Horizon Corp shares are currently up about 0.2%, Chubb Ltd shares are up about 1.3%, and Broadridge Financial Solutions shares are down about 1% on the day.

Notable Tuesday Option Activity: CELC, FHN, VSTS

Investors in First Horizon Corp (Symbol: FHN) saw new options become available today, for the December 26th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the FHN options chain for the new December 26th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $21.00 strike price has a current bid of 70 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $21.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $20.30 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of FHN, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $21.59/share today.
Because the $21.00 strike represents an approximate 3% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 61%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 3.33% return on the cash commitment, or 24.33% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for First Horizon Corp, and highlighting in green where the $21.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $22.00 strike price has a current bid of 65 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of FHN stock at the current price level of $21.59/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $22.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 4.91% if the stock gets called away at the December 26th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if FHN shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for First Horizon Corp, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing FHN's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $22.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $22.00 strike represents an approximate 2% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 49%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 3.01% boost of extra return to the investor, or 21.98% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example is 36%, while the implied volatility in the call contract example is 34%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $21.59) to be 33%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Interesting FHN Put And Call Options For December 26th

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the John Hancock Multifactor Large Cap ETF (Symbol: JHML), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $89.16 per unit.
With JHML trading at a recent price near $79.38 per unit, that means that analysts see 12.32% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of JHML's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Amer Sports Inc (Symbol: AS), Match Group Inc (Symbol: MTCH), and First Horizon Corp (Symbol: FHN). Although AS has traded at a recent price of $31.23/share, the average analyst target is 46.29% higher at $45.69/share. Similarly, MTCH has 18.80% upside from the recent share price of $32.34 if the average analyst target price of $38.42/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting FHN to reach a target price of $24.49/share, which is 14.63% above the recent price of $21.36. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of AS, MTCH, and FHN:
Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:

Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

The Math Shows JHML Can Go To $89

Comerica Incorporated CMA has reported third-quarter 2025 earnings per share (EPS) of $1.35, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.28. In the prior-year quarter, the company reported an EPS of $1.37.
Results have benefited from a rise in net interest income (NII) and deposit balance. Yet, lower loan balances, a decline in non-interest income, a rise in expenses, and weak asset quality were concerning.
Net income attributable to common shareholders was $175 million, which declined 1.1% from the year-ago quarter.
Comerica's Revenues & Expenses Rise
Total quarterly revenues were $838 million, up 3.3% year over year. The top line missed the consensus estimate by 0.7%.
Quarterly NII rose 7.5% on a year-over-year basis to $574 million. The net interest margin increased 29 basis points year over year to 3.09%.
Total non-interest income was $264 million, down 4.7% on a year-over-year basis.
Non-interest expenses totaled $589 million, up 4.8% year over year.
The efficiency ratio was 70.23% compared with the prior-year quarter’s 68.8%. A rise in this ratio indicates declining profitability.
CMA’s Loans Balance Decline & Deposit Rise
As of Sept. 30, 2025, total loans fell marginally on a sequential basis to $50.9 billion. Total deposits rose 4.3% from the previous quarter to $62.6 billion.
Comerica's Credit Quality Deteriorates
The company recorded a provision for credit loss of $22 million in the third quarter compared with $14 million in the year-ago quarter.
The allowance for credit losses was $725 million, which rose marginally year over year.
Total non-performing assets rose 4% year over year to $260 million.
The allowance for credit losses to total loans ratio was 1.43% as of Sept. 30, 2025, unchanged from the year-ago reported level. Also, the company recorded net charge-offs of $32 million, significantly up from $11 million in the year-ago quarter.
CMA's Capital Position Mixed Bag
The total capital ratio was 14.12%, down from 14.29% in the year-ago quarter. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.90%, down from 11.96% in the prior-year quarter.
As of Sept. 30, 2025, CMA's tangible common equity ratio was 8.34%, up from 8.01% in the prior-year quarter.
Comerica’s Capital Distribution Activities
The company repurchased $150 million of common stock under the share repurchase program.
CMA’s Recent Development
This month, Comerica entered a definitive merger agreement with Fifth Third Bancorp FITB, under which the latter will acquire CMA in an all-stock transaction valued at $10.9 billion.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2026 and will combine two banking franchises to form the ninth-largest U.S. bank, with nearly $288 billion in assets, $224 billion in deposits, and $174 billion in loans.
The combined entity will operate in 17 of the 20 fastest-growing markets in the country, including key regions in the Southeast, Texas, and California, while reinforcing its leadership in the Midwest. Also, the combined loan book will have a more balanced composition, reducing commercial loan concentration from 44% to 36%. That diversification can prove critical in volatile credit cycles, helping stabilize earnings even if regional economies weaken.
Our View on CMA
Comerica’s third-quarter 2025 results reflect a mixed performance, with higher net interest income growth driving an earnings beat, while rising expenses and deteriorating credit quality tempered overall momentum.
Looking ahead, the planned $10.9-billion merger with Fifth Third Bancorp will position Comerica for expanded scale, improved diversification, and enhanced competitiveness in key growth markets. While near-term challenges persist, the strategic combination and continued focus on operational efficiency may bolster long-term shareholder value.
Comerica Incorporated Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Currently, Comerica carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Performance of Another Bank
First Horizon Corporation’s FHN third-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share (excluding notable items) of 51 cents surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 45 cents. This compares favorably with 42 cents in the year-ago quarter.
FHN’s results benefited from a rise in net interest income and non-interest income, along with provision benefits. However, a decline in loan and deposit balances acted as a headwind.

Comerica Q3 Earnings Top Estimates on Higher NII, Provision Up

Huntington Bancshares Incorporated HBAN reported third-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 40 cents, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 38 cents. In the prior-year quarter, the company reported EPS of 33 cents.
Results reflected improvements in net interest income (NII) and non-interest income. Also, an increase in loan and deposit balances was also a tailwind. However, higher non-interest expenses acted as a spoilsport.
The result excluded 1 cent of the after-tax impact of notable Items. After considering this, the net income attributable to common shareholders (GAAP basis) was $629 million in the quarter, which increased from $517 million reported in the prior-year quarter.
HBAN’s Revenues & Expenses Increase
Total quarterly revenues (on a fully taxable-equivalent or FTE basis) increased 13.9% year over year to $2.15 billion in the third quarter. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.06 billion.
NII (FTE basis) was $1.52 billion, up 11.6% from the prior-year quarter’s tally. The increase was primarily due to a rise in average earning assets and net interest margin (NIM). NIM jumped 15 basis points to 3.13% in the reported quarter.
Non-interest income moved up 20.1% year over year to $628 million.
Non-interest expenses were up 10.3% year over year to $1.24 billion. The rise was mainly due to an increase in almost all cost components except for deposit and other insurance expense.
The efficiency ratio was 57.4%, down from the year-ago quarter’s 59.4%. A fall in the efficiency ratio indicates an increase in profitability.
HBAN’s Loans and Deposits Increase
As of Sept. 30, 2025, average loans and leases at Huntington inched up 2.1% sequentially to $135.9 billion. Average total deposits increased nearly 1% to $164.8 billion.
HBAN’s Credit Quality: Mixed Bag
Net charge-offs were $75 million, down from $93 million reported in the prior-year quarter. The quarter-end allowance for credit losses increased 5.2% to $2.56 billion from the prior-year quarter. Total non-performing assets were $821 million as of Sept. 30, 2025, up 4.7% from the prior-year quarter.
Net charge-offs/average total loans and leases were 0.22%, down from 0.30% in the prior-year quarter.
In the third quarter, the company recorded a provision for credit losses of $122 million, which increased 15.1% from the year-ago quarter.
HBAN’s Capital Ratios Improve
The common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.6% in the third quarter, up from 10.4% in the year-ago period.
The regulatory Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.4%, up from 12.1% in the comparable period in 2024.
The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio in the third quarter was 6.8%, which increased from 6.4% in the year-ago quarter.
Our View on HBAN
Huntington’s inorganic expansion moves are likely to bolster its revenue growth in the near term. Also, its efforts to expand its commercial banking capabilities and enhance its footprint in key growth markets, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas, will support its financials in the long run. However, rising expenses and provisions remain concerns for Huntington.

Non-interest income was $215 million, up 7.5% from the year-ago level.
