May I suggest that you include in your screen some consideration of payout ratio dividend growth? ReplyBy How Much Have Foreign Bank Stocks Fallen? [view article]
The British banks have serious dividends ( at this price level ), and also do not suffer dividend withholding tax.Is it time to get a few shares?
Or are we waiting for armageddon?
I already messed with BCS too early, but it should come right bye and bye. Reply

Actually about XOM they do very little research other than to look for oil. Yes they buy back stock. It was pointed out on the radio that the CEO of XOM makes more money than they spend on researching for alternate energy sources. Also the spend more money advertising that they are searching for altenate energy than they spend on alternate energy research. I like the article I am in Candian Royals for my higher yields.

To Lesers' on the money comment I would add the following factual information-Since 1927, dividends have
contributed over 44% of the total
return of the S&P 500 Index,
with pure capital appreciation
accounting for less than one
third of total return and if those same dividend
payments had been reinvested, dividends would
account for over two
thirds of total return over the
same time frame.

Lloyds TSB pays a 12.91% (TTM) dividend at an ADR/Share price of $22.05.Many folks err in computing the dividends on U.K. banks because they pay variable dividends. The computer generated stock screens take only a multiple of the last dividend paid and don't compute the yields properly.

I agree with jimsep and Menachem Ben Yakov.When purchasing a stock, look for the reasonable payout of -- what 25% or 50%, ballpark figure -- profits to the stockholder in the form of dividends (not so much buybacks, which I suspect may be to makeup for all the stock thrown at the executives of the company to cover their raiding the profit cookie jar.)
It's old fashioned fiscal responsibility at running the business the company says it's in. Buying other companies should be judiciously done, not in a greedy way to spend the shareholders' money, as if the shareholder doesn't know what to do with it. He or she should use the dividends to buy more of the same stock. If the company is that good, the shareholder probably would.
Of course, companies with high dividends and high debt--well the debt washes out the benefit of the current dividend, I would say.
Yes, if we went back to the traditional high dividends--even after a 15 (or 20% taxation in the future?), it would be one way to know the executives of the company are really working for us. What a novel thought.
Dividends, dividends, dividends. The proof is in the pudding.

I wished that David elaborated more on RBS. I do own some shares and can RBS sustain such a high yield ? What s the main valid reason for such a fall? Why more than it s peers? Thanks David , I always enjoy your articles and it s a nice tool for the people like me that pays attention to dividends.Tipster

It is not true that XOM is not on the list because they invest most of the income in growth initiatives. They invest most of the income in stock buybacks. Replyakov

Both HSBC and Lloyds TSB have committed to a progressive dividend policy and have adequate capital to maintain that policy. I applaud the write as the fundamental truth regarding any stock, that its worth increases regardless of market conditions if its dividend increases, is often ignored.Great article and should be read by every investor.

If more banks paid out more dividends to their shareholders (why not, that's primarily what they are there for) they would be paying more attention to what they were doing with their money and less likely to do the stupid things they have been doing. Reply
