Six Solid Bank Dividend Stocks

Posted by D4L | Thursday, May 27, 2010 | | 0 comments »

An analysis of publicly-traded U.S. bank holding companies by TheStreet highlights six bank stocks with attractive dividend yields and strong prospects for growth. A stable dividend exceeding 4% is quite compelling considering how low interest rates are.

Based on first quarter regulatory data and market data from Friday's close provided by SNL Financial, we narrowed down the list using the following criteria:

  • Bank and thrift holding companies publicly-traded in the U.S., excluding the PinkSheets.
  • Dividend yield greater than 4% as of Friday's close.
  • Price-to-tangible-book ratio below 2.
  • Three-month average trading volume over 25,000 shares.
  • Texas ratio below 20%.
