Big banks ace the Fed's stress test and unleash cash — buy the financial payout wave
The Federal Reserve's annual health check showed all major US banks could survive a severe recession. Right after passing, JPMorgan announced a massive $50 billion stock buyback and Goldman Sachs raised its dividend.
Idea
When banks pass the government's stress test with flying colors, it gives them the green light to return excess cash to shareholders. A $50 billion buyback from JPMorgan essentially means the company is committing to buy its own stock, which supports the share price by reducing the number of shares available. Combined with Goldman raising its cash payouts to investors, these moves make both stocks highly attractive and usually trigger a wave of buying from large institutional investors.
