BNY Mellon Announces Intention to Increase Quarterly Common Stock Dividend by 14 Percent to $0.42 per Share
NEW YORK, June 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, BNY Mellon (NYSE: BK) announced its intention to increase its quarterly cash dividend on its common shares by 14% from $0.37 to $0.42 per share, commencing as early as the third quarter of 2023, subject to approval by the company's Board of Directors.
On June 28, 2023, the Federal Reserve released the results of its 2023 bank stress test, which demonstrate the resilience and strength of BNY Mellon'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, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
"The results of the Federal Reserve's 2023 bank stress test once again highlight BNY Mellon's capacity to withstand extreme stress scenarios," said Robin Vince, President and Chief Executive Officer of BNY Mellon. "Combined with the power and stability of our platforms and demonstrated ability to help clients navigate uncertain markets, resiliency is a commercial attribute and a key differentiator for us. This resiliency also positions us to deliver value for our shareholders, and so we are pleased to announce the company's intention to increase our common dividend while remaining committed to maintaining strong capital ratios."
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. The timing, manner and amount of repurchases are subject to various factors, including the company's capital position and prevailing market conditions.
