The Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (NYSE:BK) announced Tuesday that it intends to raise its quarterly common stock cash dividend by 13%, from $0.47 to $0.53 per share, beginning as early as the third quarter of 2025. The increase remains subject to approval by the company’s board of directors, according to a statement released through a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
The company also reported that the Federal Reserve notified it that its preliminary Stress Capital Buffer (SCB) requirement will remain at 2.5%, which is the regulatory minimum. The SCB is expected to be effective from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, under current regulations. With a market capitalization of $64.92 billion and an overall "GOOD" financial health rating from InvestingPro, BNY Mellon has demonstrated strong market performance, delivering a 54.68% return over the past year.
Bank of New York Mellon continues to be authorized to repurchase common shares under its existing share repurchase program, which was approved by the board and announced in April 2024. Currently trading at a P/E ratio of 14.63 and near its 52-week high, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock may have additional upside potential. The repurchases may be conducted through open market transactions, privately negotiated deals, or other methods, including plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 and structured transactions. The company stated that the timing, manner, and amount of repurchases will depend on factors such as its capital position and market conditions.
In April 2025, the Federal Reserve proposed changes to its capital plan rule, including a revised method for calculating the SCB and an extension of the annual effective date by one quarter. The proposal has not yet been finalized. Bank of New York Mellon indicated that it does not anticipate the proposal will affect its SCB requirement, which has remained at the 2.5% regulatory floor since 2020.
