KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) provides retail and commercial banking, lending, investment, and wealth management services, in addition to capital markets, equipment financing, and advisory solutions. In a July episode, when a caller inquired whether the company would be acquired soon, Cramer responded:

“You know what? That’s an interesting question, but we had Chris Gorman on, and Chris was also on another show recently. I don’t think they’re in any, I think they’re in expansion mode. I don’t think they’re in sell mode, and, but I don’t mind owning the stock at all, especially with that 4.5% yield.”
