NEW YORK, Nov 10 (Reuters) – The US Securities and Exchange Commission said on Tuesday it levied nearly $1.1 billion in fines and other financial remedies in fiscal 2026, a historical low in both total penalties and overall activity compared with recent norms.
The SEC brought 348 enforcement actions in the year that ended September 30, down from 456 last year, the agency said. That compares to a median of 715 cases per year from 2005-2025, according to a Reuters review of SEC annual reports and a summary available on the SEC’s website.
