Fifth Third Rewards Shareholders With New Share Repurchase Program
Fifth Third Bancorp's FITB board of directors has approved a new share repurchase authorization of up to 100 million shares. The new authorization replaces the previous authorization announced in June 2019, under which 11.8 million shares remained. The new repurchase authorization offers flexibility, allowing stock buybacks without a set expiration or price limit. The company may conduct repurchases through open-market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, including Rule 10b5-1 programs. The repurchase program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time based on market conditions, legal requirements, and other uncertainties. Fifth Third pays quarterly dividends regularly. In September 2024, the company announced a 5.7% increase in its quarterly dividend to 37 cents per share. Over the last five years, the company increased its quarterly dividend four times. It has a payout ratio of 44%. Considering yesterday's closing price of $38.32, its annualized dividend yield is 3.86%. Fifth Third Bancorp dividend-yield-ttm | Fifth Third Bancorp Quote The company maintains a decent liquidity position. As of March 31, 2025, the company had cash and due from banks of $17.9 billion, while cash levels remain decent relative to total debt of $19.9 billion, with $5.5 billion in short-term borrowings. Further, as of March 31, 2025, Fifth Third's common equity tier (CET) 1 ratio was 10.45%. This offers room for the company to enhance its capital distribution plans. Hence, a decent balance sheet position, along with its earnings strength, indicates that FITB's capital distributions are sustainable. Shares of FITB have gained 6.2% compared with the industry's 17.8% growth over the past year. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Currently, the company carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. In May 2025, MVB Financial Corp. MVBF authorized a $10 million stock repurchase program. The company plans to execute buybacks through open-market transactions, block trades, and privately negotiated deals. With a strong liquidity position, holding $251 million in cash and cash equivalents, MVBF remains committed to enhancing shareholder value through capital distribution activities. Likewise, in March 2025, KeyCorp KEY announced a $1 billion share repurchase plan, set to begin in the second half of the year. The company has not actively repurchased shares in recent years due to macroeconomic challenges, but is now taking steps to strengthen its capital ratios. KEY raised its quarterly dividend by 5.1% to 20.5 cents per share in 2022 and has maintained that level since. While the company initially benefited from the Federal Reserve's rate hikes (which started in March 2022), rising funding and deposit costs later strained its financial and capital ratios.

NCMS Selects Cybernet Systems Corporation for Top Award in 2025 CTMA Technology Competition
Winning technology awarded at NCMS headquarters following finalists' demonstration event CTMA Technology Competition Winner ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) is pleased to announce that Cybernet Systems Corporation has been selected as the winner of the 2025 Commercial Technologies for Maintenance Activities (CTMA) Technology Competition, a highly selective annual contest that identifies the most innovative maintenance and sustainment technologies relevant to DOD operations. The winning technology, NDT Tracker for Mobile C-Scan Generation, is a mobile non-destructive testing (NDT) tool linked to advanced software that greatly simplifies ultrasonic thickness grid inspection for aircraft structural components. Three finalists gave dynamic presentations of their technology solutions earlier today in an event that was livestreamed from NCMS headquarters in Ann Arbor, MI. Each finalist was permitted 30 minutes to demonstrate their technologies in action and provide information about their solutions' relevance, benefits, and impact on maintenance and sustainment operations. A video recording of the event will be made available on the NCMS website later this week, as will a booklet featuring information about all of this year's entries. A total of 35 entries were submitted for consideration this year. As a new addition to the format of the competition this year, NCMS teamed up with the US Navy's Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRC-SE), which is Naval Air Systems Command's largest maintenance, repair, overhaul and technical services provider in the southeast region. FRC-SE personnel selected five focus areas for which they sought innovative solutions: aircraft data integration, laser cutting on aluminum, robotics and automation, surface preparation and corrosion control, and expeditionary repair of aircraft structural components. 'The judges selected this winner from a pool of extraordinary innovative technologies,' said Lisa Strama, NCMS President and CEO. 'We are thrilled to be able to provide FRC-SE with a technology solution that can be applied to current challenges they face in their maintenance and sustainment operations.' NDT Tracker for Mobile C-Scan Generation enables accurate semi-auto NDT for aircraft structural components. The NDT Tracker is a mobile, camera-based tool that reduces ultrasonic thickness grid inspection labor from two inspectors to one, cutting labor in half. The Tracker eliminates hand-drawn grids and manual recording, using patent-pending AutoClick Combo-Filtering to auto-select accurate thickness readings, reducing average inspection time from 20 to 2 seconds per cell—a 10x efficiency gain. Color-mapped C-Scan reports over inspection area imagery eliminate re-inspections due to miscommunication. The shortened inspection phase accelerates turnaround time and boosts maintenance throughput. The Tracker now operates from 0.5-5ft range with a 4ft x 4ft inspection area extendable via leapfrogging. This technology is in active use at Tinker Air Force Base, Robins Air Force Base, and by commercial aircraft service companies like Delta TechOps, ST Engineering, and Aeroman. Aircraft manufacturers (Boeing, Airbus, Gulfstream) are pursuing adoption. The Tracker won the 2024 SAE/A4A International Innovation Award and the 2024 ASNT Cool New Ideas Award by popular vote. Cybernet Systems has been awarded $100,000 in project support funding. The funds will be applied to a selected DOD demonstration initiative within the CTMA Program, to the extent permitted under the existing CTMA cooperative agreement. Selecting the award winner was a panel of judges including a representative from FRC-SE and principals for the Joint Technology Exchange Group (JTEG), a collaborative group formed by the DOD to improve coordination in the introduction of new or improved technology, new processes, or new equipment into DOD depot maintenance activities. The same group gathered earlier this spring to review all 35 entries and select the competition's three finalists, who earned their recognition for excellence in maintenance relevance or impact, originality and contribution to state-of-the-art solutions, technical maturity, cross-service applicability, and feasibility/practicality. For more details about the CTMA Technology Competition, please see: About NCMS NCMS is a cross-industry technology development consortium dedicated to improving the competitiveness and strength of the US industrial base. NCMS leverages a network of industry, government, and university partners to develop, demonstrate, and transition innovative technologies efficiently, with less risk and lower cost.
