FITB Fifth Third Bancorp

$FITB Has anyone questioned management about its fraud controls? There are growing reports of legitimate customers having accounts closed over apparent false fraud flags, with ZERO effort to properly verify transactions before terminating banking relationships. This is a serious concern. A bank that systematically prioritizes risk elimination over reasonable verification may ultimately be undermining the very customer relationships and deposit base that support its long term growth. ANYONE??

$FITB Q3 adjusted EPS came in at 1.13 dollars, ahead of the 1.09 dollar Zacks consensus. GAAP EPS was 0.90 dollars, with merger-related and other items taking 0.23 dollars off. Net interest income rose 3% sequentially to 2.28 billion dollars, ahead of the 2 to 2.5% guide. Fee income fell 5% sequentially to 1.01 billion dollars, so total revenue at 3.28 billion dollars missed the 3.34 billion dollar consensus. Provision was 122 million dollars and CET1 ticked up to 10.02%.

$FITB Yo, adding Q1, Q2 and Q3, the Q4 guidance is essentially a revised down full year guidance?

$FITB Reports Q3 before the open Monday. Zacks consensus is 1.09 dollars in EPS on 3.34 billion dollars in revenue, up 45% from a year ago. That revenue jump is mostly the Comerica deal, which closed in February and made this the ninth-largest US bank at about 294 billion dollars in assets. Q2 revenue was already 3.26 billion dollars. The sequential guide underneath is a lot smaller, net interest income up 2 to 2.5%.
