1136 ET - Fifth Third Bancorp's stock has regained its losses, after initially falling when the regional lender said it would acquire competitor Comerica in a $10.9 billion all-stock deal. Truist analysts in a research note attribute the increase to touts from investors who claim the tie-up could boost earnings to over $5 a share once complete. "Still, others have pushed back on the execution risk," the analysts write, noting that building out Southeast and Texas branches while simultaneously retaining talent and cutting 35% of expenses is a full plate. Shares edge 0.3% higher after falling more than 4% premarket. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
