Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Banco de Sabadell, S.A. offers a range of banking products and services to personal, business, and private customers both in Spain and internationally, with a market cap of approximately €15.03 billion.
Operations: Banco de Sabadell’s revenue segments include €1.29 billion from its Banking Business in the United Kingdom and €189 million from its Banking Business in Mexico.
Dividend Yield: 8.8%
Banco de Sabadell’s dividend yield is among the top 25% in Spain, supported by a reasonable payout ratio of 57.3%, indicating dividends are covered by earnings. However, its dividend history is volatile with unreliable payments over the past nine years. Recent M&A activity, including BBVA’s takeover bid and potential sale of TSB, could impact future dividends. Despite trading below estimated fair value and recent profit growth, high bad loans remain a concern for investors seeking stability.
