Shares of regional bank stocks took a hit in morning trading today, following disappointing earnings reports from Regions Financial and Comerica. Both banks reported a decline in deposits compared to the previous year, which led to a negative market response.

Comerica, based in Dallas, also published their results today. Though their third-quarter earnings dropped, they still managed to surpass analysts’ expectations according to FactSet. However, deposits fell by around 11% compared to the previous year.

Huntington Bancshares is another bank that reported a decline in earnings compared to the previous year. Surprisingly, their figure topped analysts’ expectations, and the company’s deposits saw a slight increase.
