PITTSBURGH, June 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: PNC) last week received the results of the Federal Reserve's 2020 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 2020 through the first quarter of 2022 under the Supervisory Severely Adverse Scenario. Based on PNC's strong results, PNC's Stress Capital Buffer (SCB) for the four quarter period beginning October 1, 2020 is 2.5%, which is the regulatory floor and the minimum SCB amount. PNC's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio significantly exceeds the regulatory minimum (4.5%) plus our SCB, reflecting our strong capital levels entering 2020 and the gain on the recent sale of our investment in BlackRock, Inc.
Today, the board of directors of PNC declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $1.15 per share. The dividend will be payable Aug. 5, 2020 to shareholders of record at the close of business July 17, 2020.
