Results from the annual CCAR round of banking stress tests were released last night, which are the results upon which the Fed makes decisions about whether or not to allow banks to initiate new capital allocation programs, such as dividend increases or share repurchases.
In this video, Motley Fool financials analysts Matt Koppenheffer and David Hanson discuss one bank whose request for more capital allocation came back painfully denied: BB&T (BBT 1.56%). David tells investors why this rejection happened despite a strong performance in last week's Dodd-Frank round of stress tests, why it isn't necessarily related to the amount of capital the company has on hand at the moment, and why increased dividends and share buybacks may still be on the way for BB&T investors after all.
