Northern Trust Corporation announces 2025 Stress Capital Buffer and Intent to Increase Quarterly Common Stock Dividend by 7 percent
Northern Trust will propose an increase of $0.05/share to its quarterly cash dividend on common stock, subject to approval by its board of directors.
'The results of the Federal Reserve's annual CCAR stress tests have again confirmed the strength of our capital position and business model,' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael O'Grady said. 'We continue to maintain robust capital levels and look forward to investing in our franchise and returning excess capital to shareholders, in line with our strategic priorities.'
Based on the 2025 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, 2025, to September 30, 2026, and will equate to a minimum common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 7 percent.
Northern Trust evaluates its planned capital actions, inclusive of its quarterly cash dividend on common stock, at each quarterly board of directors meeting. At the July 2025 meeting, Northern Trust will propose an increase of $0.05/share to its quarterly cash dividend on common stock, subject to approval by its board of directors.
Northern Trust will continue to take an opportunistic, considerate approach to common stock repurchases.

Trump Says Fed Chair Should ‘Resign Immediately'
President Trump said on Wednesday that Jerome H. Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, should 'resign immediately,' escalating an earlier call less than a week ago encouraging him to do so. The president has repeatedly lambasted Mr. Powell recently for not cutting interest rates, saying he was costing the country a 'fortune' in debt-servicing costs. In a social media post on Wednesday, Mr. Trump linked to an article about comments from Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who wrote on X that the Fed chair should be investigated for 'his political bias, and his deceptive Senate testimony.' At issue is Mr. Powell's insistence that the Fed can afford to be patient about cutting interest rates with the economy still on solid footing and inflation risks rising again because of Mr. Trump's tariffs. At a panel on Tuesday, the Fed chair hinted that the Fed would have been able to lower rates if it were not for those policies. In his statement on X, Mr. Pulte, who leads the agency that regulates the mortgage firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, accused Mr. Powell of making false statements at a Congressional hearing about the swelling costs of a planned renovation of the Fed's headquarters. At that hearing, Mr. Powell pushed back on media reports that the plans included features like a V.I.P. dining room and new marble table. The administration's attacks on Mr. Powell are not new. Just in the last week, Mr. Trump has called Mr. Powell a 'stubborn mule' and penned him a handwritten note to apply pressure on the Fed to lower interest rates. The president has also previously threatened to remove Mr. Powell from his role as chair before his term expires in 2025, but the Supreme Court recently signaled he is not able to do so.

Powell Silence on His Future Complicates Trump Fed Chair Search
As President Donald Trump and his advisers begin weighing replacements for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, they're running into one significant complication: It's not clear that Powell will leave the US central bank next year. The Fed chief has repeatedly declined to say whether he will step down when his four-year term as chair expires in May, or remain on the Fed board — something he could technically do until his tenure as a governor expires in January 2028. The prospect of Powell remaining at the central bank has prompted administration officials to begin planning for multiple scenarios for his replacement, as Trump seeks a chair who will support his economic agenda.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures hold steady as Wall Street braces for jobs report
US stock futures held steady as an upbeat Wall Street braced for the release of the June jobs report. Futures attached to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) ticked up 0.1%. Futures attached to the benchmark S&P 500 (ES=F) and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) flatlined. Stocks rose on Wednesday, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs for the second time this week. President Trump's trade deal with Vietnam boosted sentiment even as the July 9 deadline for the resumption of his most sweeping tariffs crept closer. Meanwhile, Trump's major spending bill stalled in the House after passing the Senate on Tuesday. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he aims to pass the legislation by Friday, July 4. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs The June jobs report, set for release Thursday, is expected to end the holiday-shortened week with a bang. Any labor market weakness will be closely watched as it could strengthen the case for an interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve sooner rather than later. Recent signs of a softening in the labor market have given investors a new wave of confidence that a cut could be imminent. Trump's ongoing feud with Federal Reserve Chair Powell —particularly reports he may announce a successor early — have further raised hopes for a reduction in rates. Trading will end early on Thursday at 1 p.m. ET for the July Fourth holiday.
