Bank of America lifts dividend by 14% following profit surge

The decision follows the Federal Reserve’s latest stress test, which cleared the path for several major financial institutions to bolster their shareholder return programs. Bank of America’s move aligns with a broader industry trend of boosting payouts after regulators confirmed the sector's resilience.
