PITTSBURGH, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE:PNC) announced that it plans to recommend to its board of directors an increase in the quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.30 per share, or 18%, to $2.00 per share in the third quarter of 2026, consistent with the current capital plan approved by its board. PNC's board of directors is expected to consider this recommendation at its next scheduled meeting July 6, 2026.
PNC received the results of the Federal Reserve's 2026 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR). The Federal Reserve's CCAR disclosure included its estimate of PNC's minimum capital ratios for the period from the first quarter of 2026 through the first quarter of 2028 under the hypothetical Supervisory Severely Adverse scenario. Based on PNC's strong results, PNC's start to minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) depletion during the stress test horizon is 0.3%, which reflects the best performance in our peer group. Consistent with the Federal Reserve's announcement Feb. 4, 2026, PNC's stress capital buffer (SCB) will be maintained at the current regulatory minimum of 2.5% until PNC and other firms receive a new SCB requirement based on the results of a supervisory stress test to be conducted in 2027, which would be effective Oct. 1, 2027. PNC's CET1 ratio of 10.1% as reported for March 31, 2026, significantly exceeds PNC's SCB-based requirement of 7.0%, which is comprised of the regulatory minimum (4.5%) plus our SCB (2.5%), reflecting PNC's continued robust capital levels.
