Fed approves buyback, dividend plans for largest US banks

The Fed on Thursday said it had approved the capital plans the nation’s 18 largest banks submitted as part of this year’s stress tests. This means it determined the banks could raise their dividends and buy back more shares this year. Immediately after the Fed’s announcement, the major banks started unveiling their plans. JPMorgan said it plans to buy back $29.4 billion in shares this cycle.
