Summary
State Street Corporation's (STT) 10-Q filing for the period ending July 27, 2020, highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its capital return strategy. The company, along with other U.S. G-SIBs, suspended common stock repurchases in March 2020 through the second quarter of 2020, resulting in no share buybacks during Q2 2020. This suspension was in response to regulatory guidance amidst the pandemic. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve's 2020 CCAR results in June 2020 imposed limitations on capital distributions for CCAR banks in the third quarter of 2020. State Street is awaiting a resubmission of capital plans based on new scenarios, the outcome of which remains uncertain and could affect future share repurchase programs. Additionally, the filing discloses a consulting arrangement with the retiring Chief Legal Officer, Jeffrey N. Carp, for transition services.
