Major US banks hike dividends following Fed stress test clearance

With the Federal Reserve’s latest stress test results clearing the way for capital distribution, Wall Street’s largest financial institutions have moved quickly to reward shareholders. A wave of dividend increases and multi-billion dollar buy-back authorizations emerged Wednesday, signaling confidence in the sector's balance sheet resilience.

JPMorgan Chase & Co led the announcements, raising its quarterly dividend to $1.65 from $1.50 per share alongside a fresh $50 billion common share repurchase program. Morgan Stanley followed suit, opting for a 15% dividend hike to $1.15 per share and authorizing a new $20 billion multi-year buy-back initiative.

Goldman Sachs will increase its common dividend by 11% to $5.00 per share starting next month. Citigroup confirmed a 12% dividend lift to 67 cents, while maintaining its existing $30 billion repurchase plan. Bank of America, meanwhile, plans to finalize its dividend adjustment following a board meeting next month, though it confirmed the continuation of its $40 billion share buy-back strategy.
