Northern Trust Corporation announces 2024 Stress Capital Buffer

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Northern Trust Corporation today commented on the results of the Federal Reserve’s 2024 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR).

“The Federal Reserve’s annual CCAR stress test results once again confirmed the strength of our capital position and business model as well as our ability to withstand a variety of adverse circumstances”

Based on the 2024 CCAR results, Northern Trust will be subject to a preliminary stress capital buffer (SCB) of 2.5 percent, which is the minimum SCB requirement under the applicable regulation and unchanged from the current level. The SCB will be effective from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, and will equate to a minimum common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 7 percent.

“The Federal Reserve’s annual CCAR stress test results once again confirmed the strength of our capital position and business model as well as our ability to withstand a variety of adverse circumstances,” Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Grady said. “Our capital deployment priorities remain unchanged – we will continue to maintain robust capital levels, invest in our franchise, and return excess capital to shareholders.”

Northern Trust intends to maintain its quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.75 per share, subject to approval by its board of directors, and will continue to take an opportunistic, considerate approach in its evaluation of potential common stock repurchases given its strong capital position, prevailing market conditions, and other factors.
