CaixaBank
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: CaixaBank, S.A. is a financial institution offering a range of banking products and services in Spain and internationally, with a market cap of approximately €47.59 billion.
Operations: CaixaBank's revenue is primarily derived from its Banking segment, which includes non-core real estate, generating €11.21 billion, followed by contributions from Insurance at €1.82 billion and the Portuguese Investment Bank (BPI) at €1.23 billion, with a smaller portion coming from the Corporate Center at €167 million.
Dividend Yield: 8.6%
CaixaBank's dividend yield is among the top 25% in Spain, supported by a reasonable payout ratio of 57.3%, indicating coverage by earnings. Despite this, its dividend history has been volatile and unreliable over the past decade, with periods of growth but also significant drops. Recent earnings growth and a €998.8 million fixed-income offering could support future payouts; however, the high level of bad loans at 2.6% poses a risk to sustainability.
