CLEVELAND — November 12, 2026 -- KeyCorp's board of directors declared a fourth-quarter 2026 cash dividend of $0.205 per common share, payable December 15, 2026 to holders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2026. Four payments at that rate would total $0.82 per share, by FairsOnline's calculation.
The board also declared dividends on four series of preferred stock, all payable on the same day. Together they come to $59.00 per share, or about $1.475 per depositary share, for an investor holding one of each series.
KeyCorp's four preferred series pay between $14.06 and $15.50 per share
- Series E, Fixed-to-Floating Rate (NYSE: KEY.I): $15.3125 per share, $0.382813 per depositary share
- Series F, Fixed Rate (NYSE: KEY.J): $14.1250 per share, $0.353125 per depositary share
- Series G, Fixed Rate (NYSE: KEY.K): $14.0625 per share, $0.351563 per depositary share
- Series H, Fixed Rate Reset (NYSE: KEY.L): $15.50 per share, $0.3875 per depositary share
Series H pays the most. Its $15.50 per share is about 10% above the $14.0625 on Series G, the lowest of the four. Each depositary share carries one-fortieth of a preferred share, by calculation: $15.3125 divided by 40 gives roughly $0.3828.
All four preferred dividends cover the period from September 15, 2026, inclusive, to December 15, 2026, exclusive. They are non-cumulative.
Preferred holders must be on the register one day before common holders
The record date for all four preferred series is the close of business on November 30, 2026. The common record date is December 1, 2026. Both groups are paid on December 15, 2026, 15 days after the preferred record date and 14 days after the common one.
KeyCorp did not say whether the $0.205 common dividend differs from the previous quarter's payment.
The company reported assets of approximately $193 billion as of September 30, 2026. Its common shares trade under NYSE: KEY.
