Hunting for income? These bank dividends are starting to look too good to ignore.
A recent analysis spotlighted these three banks —
$USB,
$KEY,
$COLB — as compelling dividend plays at a time when many investors are hunting for yield and stability in a shifting market backdrop.
$USB currently offers a dividend yield around 4.2–4.3%, with an annual payout of about
$2.08/share.
$KEY and
$COLB are also flashing “robust dividend yields” — some of the stronger yields among regional U.S. banks right now.
All three stocks have seen price declines this year, which may offer an attractive entry point for income investors.
In a higher-rate or uncertain macro environment (with borrowers, loan growth, funding costs, etc.), banks with strong deposit bases and diversified services can benefit — making dividend-paying banks more appealing than many lower-yielding equities.
