United States regional bank Huntington Bancshares has announced to buy Cadence Bank for $7.4 billion in all-share transaction to create United States top 10 bank with $276 billion assets & $220 billion deposits. Upon completion, Cadence Bank will be renamed as Huntington (2026 Q2). Announcement (23/10/25): “Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Nasdaq: HBAN) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Cadence Bank, a $53 billion regional bank headquartered in Houston, Texas and Tupelo, Mississippi. With more than 390 locations across Texas and the South, the addition of Cadence marks a significant milestone in Huntington’s strategic growth. The partnership, in conjunction with the recently closed acquisition of Veritex Community Bank, will give Huntington the fifth deposit market share in Dallas, the fifth deposit market share in Houston, and the eighth deposit market share across the state of Texas. Upon close, Huntington will also become the number one bank in Mississippi and a top ten bank in both Alabama and Arkansas by deposits. The partnership will give Huntington a foothold in high-growth markets—including Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Atlanta, Nashville, Orlando and Tampa—and create a powerful platform for further organic growth and investment. Upon completion, Huntington will have a strategic presence in 12 of the top 25 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the country, including six of the top 10 fastest growing MSAs. One of the largest regional banks in its footprint, Cadence operates branches across Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas. Huntington intends to maintain Cadence’s broad branch network—with no branch closures—and invest to grow. Upon closing of the transaction, Rollins will join Huntington as non-executive Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated as well as a director of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated and The Huntington National Bank. Huntington Bancshares will be inviting two additional members from Cadence to join the Board of Directors. Launched in 2010, Huntington’s pioneering Fair Play philosophy focuses on providing services without hidden fees or asterisks and delivering fair and safe access to banking for consumers. Through this combination, Cadence customers will have access to Huntington’s full suite of Fair Play product features, including 24-Hour Grace®, Standby Cash® and Early Pay. Huntington will continue Cadence’s strong legacy of community support through local partnerships, investment and engagement, and will maintain Cadence’s philanthropic commitments to organizations across its footprint—including its multifaceted support for the Tupelo community and state of Mississippi. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, approval by Huntington and Cadence shareholders and other customary closing conditions. Upon conversion, which is expected in the second quarter of 2026, Cadence Bank teams and branches will operate under the Huntington Bank name and brand … … Under the terms of the agreement, Huntington will issue 2.475 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of Cadence common stock in a 100% stock transaction. Based on Huntington’s closing price of $16.07 as of October 24, 2025, the consideration implies $39.77 per Cadence share or an aggregate transaction value of $7.4 billion. The transaction is expected to be 10% accretive to Huntington’s earnings per share, mildly dilutive to regulatory capital at close, and 7% dilutive to tangible book value per share with earn-back in three years inclusive of merger expenses.”
