Huntington Bancshares Incorporated provided revenue guidance for the year 2019. With the assumption of no interest rate hikes in 2019, full-year revenue is expected to increase approximately 4% to 7%. The full-year NIM is expected to remain relatively flat on a GAAP basis versus 2018 as modest core NIM expansion offsets the anticipated reduction in the benefit of purchase accounting. Full-year noninterest expense is expected to increase approximately 2% to 4%. The change in revenue growth expectations is entirely related to the updated interest rate assumptions, while the reduced expense growth expectations reflect actions taken to better pace investment spending in light of the revised revenue outlook.
