Bank Stocks Ready for a 2012 Dividend Increase

Posted by D4L | Wednesday, November 30, 2011 | | 0 comments »

As we have seen during this difficult year for bank stocks, an attractive dividend yield can provide plenty of support for share prices. The 10 bank dividend stocks we highlight here have all beaten the performance of the KBW Bank Index (BKX), which was down 28% year-to-date through Friday.

Of course, a very high dividend yield could signal investor suspicion that a company may need to cut its dividend. This is why it's important to consider how much of its earnings a bank is paying out, and whether it is turning a steady profit.
