Truist Financial has maintained its quarterly dividend at $0.52 since August 2022, yielding about 4.5%, while increasing its stock buyback target to $5 billion for 2026. Despite solid earnings coverage, management prioritizes buybacks over dividend increases to manage capital ratios, aiming for a CET1 ratio of 10% by the end of 2027. This contrasts with peers like PNC and U.S. Bancorp, which have raised dividends recently. Investors await new CEO Mike Lyons' capital plan for signals on future dividend growth and strategy shifts.
