Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. staked out sharply divergent views from the Federal Reserve on how they’d fare in a market shock, clouding prospects for higher payouts to shareholders.
The split came as lenders and regulators each released their versions of stress-test results yesterday, with Goldman Sachs predicting that its Tier 1 common ratio would be about 3.8 percentage points stronger than Fed estimated in a worst-case scenario. New York-based Citigroup calculated a ratio almost 3 percentage points better than the central bank.
