Jim Cramer on Huntington Bancshares: "They're Terrific"

Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ:HBAN) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. During the lightning round, a caller sought Cramer’s opinion on the stock, and he replied:

They always come through. They’re terrific. I’m going to give you a twofer. I also like Key. They are terrific, too.

Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ:HBAN) provides banking and financial services, including consumer and business lending, deposits, payments, and wealth management. Additionally, the firm offers digital tools, investment services, equipment financing, and capital markets solutions. On July 14, 2025, Cramer discussed the company’s acquisition of Veritex, as he remarked:

This morning, we had a real bank merger, one of my favorites, Huntington Bancshares, the Ohio-based regional bank, announced that it’s buying the Texas-based regional bank Veritex in an all-stock deal that values the target just under $2 billion. Now, in the grand scheme of things, and this is a small transaction, I didn’t even know Veritex, but it helps Huntington grow in Texas, a market where it was already expanding aggressively.

Plus, the company also pre-announced most of the key lines of its second quarter earnings report… Look, numbers look pretty darn good. When you back out some one-time items, Huntington posted solid earnings with better-than-expected net interest income and fine-looking credit quality metrics.

It is worth noting that since the above comment was aired, Huntington Bancshares’ (NASDAQ:HBAN) stock is up over 5.5%.
