NEW YORK, NY, June 24, 2026 - Today the Federal Reserve released the results of its 2026 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review ("CCAR"), which demonstrated the firm remains well capitalized to withstand a wide range of economic conditions. Consistent with the Federal Reserve's February 2026 announcement that current stress capital buffer ("SCB") requirements will remain unchanged, the firm's SCB will remain 3.4% through September 30, 2027, and the Standardized Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") ratio requirement will remain 11.4%.
The firm intends to increase its common dividend from $4.50 to $5.00 per share beginning July 1, 2026, representing an increase of 11% from current levels and an increase of 25% relative to the prior year. The common stock dividend is subject to approval by the firm's Board of Directors at its scheduled third quarter meeting. This increase is a continuation of the strategy to pay shareholders a sustainable and growing dividend.
"Today's announcement reflects the continued strength of our earnings and capital position, and our commitment to delivering sustainable, long-term returns to shareholders," said Chairman and CEO David Solomon. "Our planned dividend increase reflects the strength of our franchise, our earnings power, and our confidence in our ability to support clients, invest for the long term, and deliver sustainable returns to shareholders."
