Recent press releases and 8-K filings for FHN.
- First Horizon Corporation's 2025 company-run capital stress test results, announced on July 30, 2025, indicate the company would maintain capital ratios well above regulatory minimums under hypothetical severe economic and business downturns.
- The company's minimum Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 9.7%, significantly exceeding the 4.5% regulatory minimum, and represents approximately $4 billion of additional pre-tax loss absorption capacity.
- First Horizon's loan portfolio stressed loss rate of 2.3% was substantially lower than the Federal Reserve-published median DFAST result of 6.1%.
- The results include a $0.15 quarterly common stock dividend throughout the nine-quarter scenario horizon.
- First Horizon is focused on integrating post-merger operations and improving cross-sells, aiming to add in excess of $100 million of pretax operating profit on its existing business over the next two to three years.
- The lending environment is stable with "very good" credit quality, and loan growth is currently a little over 1% for the quarter, aligning with their low single-digit loan growth guidance for the year. Credit losses are running in the mid to high teens.
- The company targets 15%+ Return on Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE) with CET1 levels between 10% and 10.5%, down from the current 11%, expecting to achieve these returns over the next two or three years.
- With assets just over $80 billion, First Horizon is optimistic that potential tailoring of bank regulation could allow continued organic growth without significant cost increases associated with crossing the $100 billion threshold.
