The bank and thrift sector has seen a flood of capital raises following the release of the results of the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program, the government's stress tests of the nation's largest banks.

After a dry spell in late 2008 and little action in the first three months of 2009, banks began announcing offerings at a feverish pace, and it seems investors are once again ready to put money to work in the sector. While some headwinds undoubtedly remain, the capital markets opened for a number of institutions late in the second quarter, and the sector saw a number of successful common equity offerings.

While some banks were looking to raise funds to cover estimated losses under the SCAP's "more adverse scenario," the Federal Reserve said June 1 that SCAP participants wishing to exit TARP must meet two conditions: first, demonstrate that they can access the public equity markets; and second, access the long-term debt markets without assistance from the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.

The announcement led some banks whose stress tests showed they did not need additional capital, such as JPMorgan Chase & Co., to announce new capital raises. JPMorgan Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon expressed frustration at the new requirements during a June 1 conference call to discuss the company's plans to raise about $5 billion. Dimon complained at the time that, while he hoped to exit the program soon, regulators could impose additional requirements. "You've obviously seen they can do whatever they want," Dimon said during the call.

JPMorgan repaid the $25 billion preferred stock investment June 17, resulting in a 27-cent-per-share hit to second-quarter earnings. The bank will record a one-time, noncash negative adjustment of $1.1 billion, reflecting the accelerated amortization of issuance discount on the preferred shares.

Several other big banks announced TARP repayments alongside JPMorgan. Exiting the program presented additional hurdles, as news surfaced in early July that several bankers were quibbling with regulators over the value of warrants issued to the Treasury.

Regardless of whether companies are looking to exit TARP, several players have announced capital raises in order to take advantage of the recent surge in investor interest.

But whether it's a public offering or private capital being plowed into banks, SNL is tracking year-to-date capital-raising activity among banks and thrifts in 2009, with updates on a weekly basis.
