Rhea AI CMA FY2024 2026-04-22

Comerica’s balance-sheet earnings model is running with less liquidity and thinner returns as leverage inches higher.

Across the last three years, retained earnings rose from $11.3B to $12.0B, which normally would point to a meaningfully thicker capital cushion. Yet total equity still ended at only $6.5B while debt-to-equity reached 1.0x, so profits were being earned without rebuilding balance-sheet capacity as quickly as leverage was rising.

In the latest year, cash roughly matched long-term debt, with $6.8B of cash against $6.7B of debt. Because total liabilities also declined, this reads more like balance-sheet tightening and funding reshaping than simple asset growth.

The latest year also showed tighter earnings quality: operating cash flow was $601M versus net income of $698M, unlike earlier periods when reported profit often ran ahead of cash generation. ROA also eased from 1.0% to 0.9%, showing that a smaller asset base still produced less profit per dollar, not just less profit in absolute terms.

Based on FY2024 annual data, averaged across the last 3 years for performance metrics (most-recent year weighted highest). How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Comerica's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Growth

Comerica's revenue declined 3.3% year-over-year, from $798.0M to $772.0M. This contraction results in a growth score of 32/100.

Leverage

Comerica carries a low D/E ratio of 1.02, meaning only $1.02 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 81/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Returns

Comerica's ROE of 10.7% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 42/100. This is down from 13.8% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

3/9

Comerica passes 3 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed

0.86x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Comerica generates $0.86 in operating cash flow ($601.0M OCF vs $698.0M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.
