This week is packed with events that could bring great opportunities for investors!
The US bank stress test results will be announced. This test evaluates a bank's financial resilience under adverse economic conditions like recession, market volatility, or declining asset quality. Last year, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and Citigroup participated in the bank stress test and subsequently announced increased dividends after the results:
These financial giants will participate in this year's stress test and could possibly announce an adjustment to their cash dividends based on the bank stress test results and their capital requirements.
When it comes to new listings and shares that will be available on EasyEquities:
Rainbow Chicken will be listing later this week. The last date to buy RCL Foods shares that qualify for the distribution of these shares is within the week. Cilo Cybin, the first JSE cannabis company, will list on JSE's AltX as a SPAC this week and aims to grow through biotech and medical cannabis acquisitions.
On Friday, the US broad market index fell slightly, with the S&P 500 index and NASDAQ closing in the red while the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged higher.
Nike is expected to maintain its quarterly dividend, continuing its tradition of annual increases. Meanwhile, Micron Technology has consistently maintained its dividend payout unchanged since mid-2022.
