Fifth Third Bancorp has announced its agreement to acquire Comerica in an all-stock deal valued at $10.9 billion, a strategic shift aimed at strengthening its market presence. This development comes as Fifth Third reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 6.4%, reaching $2.31 billion, and a net interest income growth of 6.2%, totaling $4.4 billion for the first nine months of 2025. Despite slight declines in earnings per share and tangible book value, the bank's solid momentum in net interest income growth, with a five-year CAGR of 4.2%, has contributed to a nearly 20% rise in its stock following the announcement.
