US EditionBiggest US banks hike dividends, announce share buybacks after acing stress tests
- PNC Financial Services intends to propose a 6% increase in its quarterly dividend, raising it by 10 cents to $1.70, with the proposal expected to be reviewed and approved by the board at the July 3, 2025 meeting.
- This recommendation is based on PNC’s receipt of the Federal Reserve’s 2025 capital assessment outcomes, which confirm the bank’s strong capital reserves and adherence to regulatory requirements.
- As of March 31, 2025, PNC maintained a strong capital position with a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 10.6%, well above the 7.0% threshold that includes the stress capital buffer. Additionally, about 41% of the authorized repurchase shares remained available at that time.
- The Federal Reserve's 2025 stress tests showed all 22 banks, including PNC, can withstand over $550 billion in hypothetical losses and will continue capital returns through dividends and buybacks.
- These results and ongoing regulatory proposals to ease capital requirements suggest PNC and other major banks may maintain shareholder return programs with continued share buybacks matching second-quarter 2025 levels.
