Jim Cramer on Huntington Bancshares: “Numbers Look Pretty Darn Good”

Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (NASDAQ:HBAN) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar. Cramer discussed the firm’s acquisition of Veritex during the episode. He commented:

“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.”
