Fifth Third has announced an acquisition of Comerica Bank.
Fifth Third Bancorp (Nasdaq: FITB) and Comerica Incorporated (NYSE: CMA) today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Fifth Third will acquire Comerica in an all-stock transaction valued at $10.9 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Comerica’s stockholders will receive 1.8663 Fifth Third shares for each Comerica share, representing $82.88 per share as of Fifth Third’s closing stock price on October 3, 2025, and a 20% premium to Comerica’s 10-day volume-weighted average stock price. At close, Fifth Third shareholders will own approximately 73% and Comerica shareholders will own approximately 27% of the combined company.
This transaction brings together two long-tenured banking franchises to create the 9th largest U.S. bank with approximately $288 billion in assets. The combination is expected to be immediately accretive to shareholders; deliver peer-leading efficiency, return on assets and return on tangible common equity ratios; and create a compelling platform to generate sustainable long-term growth.
Thoughts
Comerica had a few promotions here and there but nothing major. No real impact on our world.
