US Bancorp (USB) & Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB)
Financials
Possible M&A? Paragon’s JetTrack has been flagging some interesting flights between the two banks in recent months - this would be an acquisition that makes sense for USB and their acquisitive C-Suite. While more recent acquisitions have been focused in the Western US, CEO Cecere has stated that he would like to expand into the Southeast (where FITB has a large presence). Adding to the intrigue is the fact that USB flights have also been been tracked to Boston where multiple sizeable holders of both banks' stock are based.
