The financial sector showed broad resilience with KeyCorp reporting Q3 diluted EPS of $0.51, up 24% year-over-year, and Equifax beating estimates with 10% revenue growth. Dime Community Bancshares also reported strong Q3 results, beating EPS and revenue estimates, and announced the acquisition of Empire Bancshares for $58M. These results suggest that despite macroeconomic concerns, regional banks and credit bureaus are maintaining healthy earnings power, supported by stable credit conditions and strategic M&A activity.
