BNY Announces Intention to Increase Quarterly Common Stock Dividend by 12 Percent to $0.47 per Share
NEW YORK, June 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY") (NYSE: BK), the global financial services company, today announced its intention to increase its quarterly cash dividend on its common shares by 12% from $0.42 to $0.47 per share, commencing as early as the third quarter of 2024, subject to approval by the company's Board of Directors.
On June 26, 2024, the Federal Reserve released the results of its 2024 bank stress test, which demonstrate the resilience and strength of BNY's business model and capital position. The Federal Reserve also notified the company that its preliminary Stress Capital Buffer (SCB) requirement will remain 2.5%, equal to the regulatory floor. This SCB is expected to be effective from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025.
"The results of the Federal Reserve's annual bank stress tests showcase BNY's resilient business model and our strength to support clients through extreme stress scenarios. BNY serves a unique role in financial markets, overseeing approximately $50 trillion in assets on behalf of clients around the world, and our resilience is a critical attribute," said Robin Vince, President and Chief Executive Officer of BNY. "We are pleased to announce the company's intention to increase our common dividend and we remain committed to maintaining our strong capital ratios. Our continued work to become more for our clients and run our company better delivers value for clients and shareholders alike," Mr. Vince added.
The company continues to be authorized to repurchase common shares under its existing share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors, as announced in January 2023 and April 2024. The timing, manner and amount of repurchases are subject to various factors, including the company's capital position and prevailing market conditions.
