The banks were asked by the Federal Reserve to hold off making announcements about their dividend and buyback plans until 4:30 p.m. Monday.\nGoldman Sachs Group(GS), which has produced record results in recent quarters, sharply boosted its payout by 60%, to $2 a share per quarter from $1.25, matching Goldberg’s projection. Goldman shares will yield 2.2% based on their closing price on Monday of $368.71. Its stock has risen 1.4% to $373.87 in premarket trading Tuesday.\nIndustry leader JPMorgan Chase(JPM), as expected, increased its dividend to $1 a share per quarter from 90 cents. At $154, its shares yield 2.6%. Its stock was off 0.1%, at $154.24, in premarket trading Tuesday.\nBank of America(BAC) said it planned to lift its quarterly payout by 17%, to 21 cents a share, in line with expectations. Its shares will yield 2% based on its closing price Monday of $41.56. Its stock was down 0.2% to $41.49 in premarket trading Tuesday.\nCitigroup(C) said it “look forward to continuing with our planned capital actions, including common dividends of at least 51 cents per share.” Its current payout is 51 cents. The analyst expectation is for a new dividend of about 54 cents. Its stock had dropped 0.5% to $71.15 in premarket trading Tuesday.\n“The Fed stress tests were redemption for the banks,” said Mike Mayo, banking analyst at Wells Fargo. “The banks had the strength and wherewithal during the recession to avoid dividend cuts, and they have enough firepower on the other end for increases.” Mayo made these comments before the bank actions today.\n“This is a new day for banks,” he said. “It reflects some of the strongest balance sheets in a generation.”\nMayo’s view is that “new investors” will be attracted to banks because of their increased dividend security and a combination of dividends and stock buybacks that could produce a total annual yield of around 8%, against 5% or so for junk bonds.\nMany big banks are expected to return 100%–or more—of their earnings in stock buybacks and dividends during the coming 12 months. The dividend and buyback plans are subject to approval by the banks’ boards.\nBanks have more flexibility to repurchase stock under current rules and no longer have to ask specific permission as long as they have ample capital. Banks like JPMorgan haven’t announced buyback targets in the coming year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":103,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
