Three US banks could gain if long-term interest rates stay high, according to a Simply Wall St screen. Fifth Third Bancorp, First Horizon, and Huntington Bancshares are closely tied to lending spreads and the Treasury curve. Fifth Third has a market value near $48.9 billion and about $11.1 billion in revenue. Its payments and deposit platforms, Direct Express and Newline, supply low-cost deposits and growing fee income. First Horizon relies heavily on interest-based banking. Its wealth arm added about $5 million in brokerage, trust, and insurance revenue in the first half of 2026 after an LPL platform conversion. Huntington Bancshares has a market value near $31.8 billion. It is expanding into Texas through the Veritex acquisition and into the Carolinas, with a Cadence partnership.
