Historically, in the Fed's data for US banks from 2001 to 2025, when a group paid out more than 75% of its earnings about 4 in 10 cut the dividend the next year, against about 1 in 20 of the rest. Capital (CET1) did not tell the cutters apart. It is a historical measure, not a forecast for this bank.

A year earlier (Jun 30, 2025): CET1 from 13.8% to 14.0% · Uninsured from 47% to 49% · Past due from 0.96% to 0.54% · Reserves to loans from 0.88% to 1.06%
