10 of the 19 banks need new capital
---------------
People familiar with the matter said May 4 that about 10 of the 19 firms will be deemed to need additional capital. The number increased from six to eight a week ago, after regulators boosted their target for the reserves the firms must hold.
- Wells Fargoâs requires about $15 billion in new capital
- Bank of America Corp. needs $34 billion
- JPMorgan Chase & Co. doesnât need to raise its capital,
- while Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. have taken actions that suggest they also passed their reviews.
Officials favor tangible common equity equal to about 4 percent of a bankâs assets, up from an earlier target of 3 percent, two people with knowledge of the deliberations said last week.
May 6 (Bloomberg) -- Wells Fargo & Co., the fourth-largest U.S. bank by assets, requires about $15 billion in new capital as a result of regulatorsâ stress test on the lender, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Regulators have said options open to lenders include converting existing government preferred shares; Wells Fargo got $25 billion in taxpayer funds last year. As part of the stress tests on the 19 largest banks, officials are assessing whether banks have enough common equity, among other capital measures.
