10-QPeriod: Q3 FY2020

STATE STREET CORP Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2020

Filed October 23, 2020For Securities:STTSTT-PG

Summary

State Street Corporation (STT) filed its 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2020. A significant focus of this filing is the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to pose substantial risks and uncertainties to the company's business operations, financial condition, and regulatory capital. The pandemic has led to increased volatility in financial markets, strained transaction processing capabilities, and prompted an increase in the provision for credit losses. Furthermore, regulatory restrictions, particularly from the Federal Reserve's CCAR (Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review) process, have impacted State Street's ability to return capital to shareholders. The company suspended its common stock repurchase program in March 2020 due to the pandemic and, as of this filing, faces limitations on share repurchases in the third and fourth quarters of 2020. Future capital distributions will be influenced by the revised Stress Capital Buffer requirements.
