SYMBOL LOOKUP

Cleveland-based Key lost $1.13 billion, or $2.70 per share, during the second quarter, with $1 billion in losses tied to the tax treatment of its leveraged lease portfolio. Analysts were expecting losses of $2.57 per share.

Key also increased its loan-loss provision to $647 million during the quarter from $53 million during the second quarter last year.

Profit at Regions fell 55 percent to $206.4 million, or 30 cents per share. Excluding the impact of merger-related expenses, Regions earned 39 cents per share, missing analysts' average 42-cent estimate.

The Birmingham, Ala.-based bank set aside $309 million for loan losses, compared with $60 million during the year-ago period. Regions also said it will slash its dividend to 10 cents from 38 cents to help conserve capital.
