U.S. Bancorp Comments on Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test Results
Based on the 2025 stress test results and current rule requirements, the company's preliminary stress capital buffer (SCB) is 2.6 percent for the period beginning October 1, 2025, and ending on September 30, 2026. The SCB, when added to the Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital to risk-weighted assets ratio minimum of 4.5 percent, requires the company to maintain a CET1 ratio at or above 7.1 percent throughout this period.
The Federal Reserve has stated that it expects to finalize the SCB for all firms by August 31, 2025.
All U.S. Bancorp regulatory ratios continue to reflect strong capital levels and exceed 'well-capitalized' requirements. The company's CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio using the Basel III standardized approach was 10.8 percent as of March 31, 2025.
U.S. Bancorp's planned capital actions include a 4 percent increase in its quarterly common stock dividend from $0.50 to $0.52 per share, subject to approval by U.S. Bancorp's Board of Directors, effective in the third quarter of 2025. The Company plans to continue share repurchases under the Company's existing $5 billion share repurchase program.
'The results of this year's stress test demonstrate that we are well-capitalized, have a healthy balance sheet, and remain prepared to manage potential industry stress and withstand a severe economic downturn,' said Gunjan Kedia, President and CEO of U.S. Bancorp.

Caribbean: TotalEnergies Expands its Partnership with AES from LNG to Renewable Energy
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) announces the closing of its acquisition of a 50% stake in the solar, wind and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) portfolio of AES Dominicana Renewables Energy. This deal follows TotalEnergies' 2024 acquisition of a 30% share in AES solar and battery assets currently under construction in Puerto Rico. The combined portfolio now exceeds 1.5 GW of renewable energy and BESS capacity across the Caribbean. These transactions advance TotalEnergies' multi-energy strategy in a region where it is a key player in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) value chain. Dominican Republic: TotalEnergies acquires 50% of AES renewables portfolio AES' renewables portfolio includes over 1 GW of contracted wind, solar, and BESS projects, of which 410 MW is already operational or under construction, supplying electricity under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). The portfolio also includes over 500 MW of solar and wind capacity in development, alongside BESS projects, which will be integrated into solar plants to mitigate intermittency and enhance grid stability. This acquisition will allow TotalEnergies to expand its renewables business in the Dominican Republic, where the Company already has a partially solarized network of 184 service stations, natural gas distribution and a 103 MW solar plant under construction. Puerto Rico: TotalEnergies already holds 30% of a portfolio of AES renewables The AES' renewables portfolio includes 485 MW of contracted solar and BESS projects, comprising 200 MW of solar and 285 MW/1,140 MWh of BESS projects currently under construction. After acquiring 30% of these assets in 2024, TotalEnergies is pursuing deployment of its multi-energy strategy on the island, where it is already active in the fuel, lubricants, and aviation sectors, and operates a network of 200 service stations between Puerto Rico and the island of St Thomas. 'We are pleased to expand our multi-energy strategy through this partnership with AES, focusing on renewables and battery storage in a region where TotalEnergies is already a leading supplier of LNG, notably for power generation. Since 2018, we have been supplying LNG to AES's subsidiaries in Panama and the Dominican Republic', said Stéphane Michel, President of Gas, Renewables & Power at TotalEnergies. 'These new transactions will contribute to our targets of 35 GW of gross renewable capacity by 2025 and over 100 TWh of electricity production by 2030.' 'We are excited to join forces with TotalEnergies as we diversify the island's energy mix. The proceeds from this transaction will be reinvested in AES Dominicana, to grow our renewables footprint', said Juan Ignacio Rubiolo, AES Executive Vice President & President, Energy Infrastructure and Leader of International Markets.

Mortgage Rates Today, July 2, 2025: 30-Year Rates Drop to 6.69%
Mortgage rates are down and still under 7%. Today's national average on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is 6.69%, according to Bankrate. If you choose a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage, the average rate is 5.89%. Home sales sank in May, dropping 13.7% and falling just short of many experts' predictions. The disappointing figure came amid concerns over increased housing costs and high mortgage rates. While interest rates have largely remained steady since mid-April, they've also remained consistently high with no relief in sight. The Federal Reserve held its benchmark rate steady on June 18, waiting to see whether businesses manage the impact of tariffs by raising prices or realizing smaller profits. Fed Chair Jerome Powell reiterated the central bank's wait-and-see posture at a House Financial Services Committee hearing, telling lawmakers: 'If it turns out that inflation pressures do remain contained, we will get to a place where we cut rates sooner rather than later, but I wouldn't want to point to a particular meeting.' He indicated that policymakers will look toward inflation and unemployment data over the summer to determine when future adjustments are appropriate. Top mortgage rates today Current mortgage rates are down and lower than they were seven days ago and in early 2025, when the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage reached above 7%. Even though Federal Reserve policy doesn't directly impact today's mortgage rates, they have been easing since the Fed began cutting rates in late 2024. Mortgage rates change regularly, so compare offers and consider the personal and market factors that influence your quoted mortgage rate.
