CMA.PR.B: 6.875% Fixed Rate Reset Preferred IPO From Comerica Incorporated

Summary CMA.PR.B offers a 6.875% fixed, non-cumulative dividend, resetting in 2030, with favorable tax treatment, and strong dividend coverage from Comerica's common equity. Comerica's credit profile has been unchanged since 2020, but faces a negative outlook due to funding and liquidity pressures, though preferred dividend risk appears minimal for now. The preferred stock trades at a significant credit spread premium versus company debt, suggesting attractive relative value for income-focused investors. Relative sector valuation shows CMA-B is fairly priced versus peers, but I prefer higher-quality alternatives like BOH-B and RF-F for better risk/reward. I see no immediate concerns for CMA-B holders, but I will monitor for a more attractive entry point before considering an investment. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Comerica Q1 Earnings Review: Deposit Weakness Offsets Solid Credit Quality

Summary Comerica Incorporated's Q1 results showed solid credit quality but weak deposit trends, with average deposits falling by $1.4 billion and a significant 5% annual decline. Despite cutting deposit costs aggressively, Comerica's strategy to maximize margins may hinder deposit growth, especially with the loss of the Direct Express contract. Loan demand remains soft, with average balances down $400 million, and commercial real estate exposure declining by $250 million amid economic uncertainty. Given average capital and poor deposit trends, I rate CMA stock as a hold, expecting shares to remain in the low-$50s, with limited upside potential. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Comerica: Deposit Pressures Reflected After A Mixed Q4 (Rating Upgrade)

Summary Comerica's shares have been mixed, gaining 15% but lagging due to declining deposits and loss of a government contract, leading to a "hold" rating. Q4 results showed weak deposit growth but impressive pricing actions, with a shift from brokered to core deposits, aiding margin expansion. Loan demand remains tepid, but credit quality is solid with limited commercial real estate exposure, and the bank benefits more from falling rates. Despite some downside risks, CMA stock is trading around fair value, with limited upside but a secure dividend, justifying an upgrade to "hold". Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Comerica: Too Much Optimism Given Deposit Headwinds (Downgrade)

Summary Comerica's shares have rallied 60% over the past year, but the recent gains appear overdone given ongoing deposit weaknesses. Despite a solid capital position and potential regulatory benefits, CMA faces challenges with declining noninterest-bearing deposits and higher deposit costs. The bank's net interest margin is pressured by unfavorable deposit mix and declining loans, with limited near-term earnings growth expected. With a full valuation at 13x earnings and a 10% downside risk, I recommend selling Comerica shares to capitalize on the recent rally. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
