Fulton Financial

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Fulton Financial Corporation is a financial holding company offering consumer and commercial banking products and services across Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia, with a market cap of approximately $3.47 billion.

Operations: Fulton Financial Corporation generates revenue primarily through its banking segment, which reported $1.08 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.7%

Fulton Financial offers a stable dividend history, with dividends reliably growing over the past 10 years and currently covered by earnings at a 42.4% payout ratio. The recent increase in its quarterly common stock dividend to $0.18 per share reflects confidence in its financial health, despite shareholder dilution last year. Trading below estimated fair value and initiating a $100 million share buyback program may enhance future shareholder returns, though current yield remains modest compared to top-tier U.S. dividend payers.
