As U.S. Bancorp holds its first Investor Day in five years on Thursday, investors will be listening for clues about how one of the biggest US lenders can turn its lackluster stock around.

The Minneapolis-based company has been left out of the rally that has swept the broader banking sector this year — eking out only a 3.4% gain through Wednesday, the worst among its S&P 500 industry peers. The investor event is a chance for new executives to address the public, as well as for the lender to give an updated look into its financial targets.
