All 32 of the nation’s biggest banks clear the Fed’s annual ‘stress test’
The banks stayed above minimum capital levels after a severe recession scenario that included $708 billion in projected losses, the Fed said.
- The Federal Reserve announced Wednesday that all 32 major Banks passed the annual 'stress test,' indicating the banking system would remain healthy even if a major economic contraction occurred.
- Mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act following the 2008 financial crisis, these annual evaluations measure whether capital cushions remain healthy despite hundreds of billions in projected losses.
- In the 2026 scenario, Housing prices would fall 30% and the stock market would plunge 58%, while unemployment would rise from 5.5% to 10% and the economy would contract 4.6%.
- Shortly after the announcement, JPMorgan Chase increased its quarterly dividend to $1.65 a share from $1.50 a share and announced an additional $50 billion stock buyback.
- Banks must maintain a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio above 4.5%, as poor performance on these tests could force higher requirements, limiting their ability to pay dividends or repurchase stock.
