Bank of NY Mellon (BK) reached a record high of $106.57 before declining 0.69% in late trading. The stock has surpassed its highest level since the merger of BNY and Mellon Financial in 2007, showcasing the company's growth over the years.

Bank of New York Mellon (BK) reached a new 52-week high of $104.76 on August 27, 2025, trading at a volume of over 3.6 million shares [1]. This milestone marks the company's highest level since its merger with Mellon Financial in 2007, underscoring its robust performance and growth over the years.The stock's performance was driven by several factors, including a boosted quarterly dividend of $0.53 per share, up from $0.47, reflecting a 2.0% dividend yield. Additionally, positive analyst ratings and earnings reports contributed to the stock's recent surge. Morgan Stanley, for instance, raised its price target on BK from $95.00 to $101.00 and gave it an "overweight" rating [1].
BNY Mellon's earnings for the second quarter of 2025 exceeded analysts' expectations, with earnings per share (EPS) rising by 27% to $1.94, beating the forecasted $1.75. Revenue also surpassed projections, reaching $5.03 billion compared to the anticipated $4.78 billion [2]. These strong financial results have led several analysts to revise their price targets and ratings upward, reflecting positive sentiment towards the company's recent achievements.
Institutional investors also showed confidence in BK, with several hedge funds and other institutional investors adding to or reducing their stakes in the stock. Westside Investment Management Inc., for example, grew its stake in BK by 78.9% during the second quarter [1].
Despite the minor decline in late trading on August 27, BK's performance reflects its strong market presence and investor confidence. The company's strategic initiatives, including a 14-year streak of dividend increases, have driven 8.34% revenue growth over the last twelve months, further solidifying its resilience and market strength [2].
