Bank Stocks With Big Dividend Yields

When savvy investors hunt for great dividend stocks, one of the first things they look at is the dividend yield, which expresses a stock's annual dividend payout as a percentage of its stock price.

One of the reasons investors are often drawn to bank stocks is because they tend to pay generous dividends. But just like any other industry, some banks stocks are more generous than others when it comes to their quarterly payouts.

Which are the best from the perspective of an income-seeking investor on the hunt for a high yield? You can find the answer in the table below.

With this in mind, I drew up the table below, which ranks the nation's biggest banks by dividend yield.

Here are higher capitalized bank/money center stocks with dividend yields above 3 percent....

Why High-Yield Dividend Stock UBS Group Could Be A Buy

UBS is a $37 billion revenue-generating machine providing financial services to high net worth individuals and institutions throughout the world.

What makes UBS different from many others is that 50% of it business comes from fees from private wealth management. Investment banking accounts for 27% of all revenues while commodity banking services for personal and corporate clients contributes 15%. Asset management for corporate benefit plans takes up the remaining 8%.

In its core private wealth business, UBS has a loyal following among the world's wealthiest families. It takes about $10 million just to open a private bank relationship. Monthly fees are based on assets under management and do not vary greatly year to year.

Approximately 80% of its core income comes from recurring fees. UBS does not seek the highest absolute investment returns. Most clients are more concerned with capital preservation. This means that UBS enjoys some stability in its business.

UBS stock has fallen over 28% in 2016, pushing its $0.63 per share dividend to a yield of 4.5%. Dividend payments are limited to once a year so investors needing more frequent income will find their needs better met elsewhere.

UBS cut its dividend during the financial crisis and only recently began making payments again. Financial stocks usually employ a lot of leverage, which can make them riskier investments during recessions. As well, banks with heavy European exposure are being hit hard today, so investors should proceed with caution.

10 Stocks Looking Cheap Now During The Cycle

The S&P 500 is already off more than 8%, which means the benchmark index has lost more than 1.7% per week on average for every full week of trading.

If anything, it’s highly unlikely that markets will keep falling so quickly — at that pace, most of the stock market would evaporate by the end of the year.

But any continued losses are unwelcome losses, so investors are rapidly fleeing to more risk-light assets. The problem is the 10-year Treasury yield now yields a mere 1.74%, and many traditional safe-haven stocks have actually enjoyed buying amid the downturn, helping to drive down their yields.

Investors do have a few options for meaningful yield, though. The very downturn that has investors scurrying to find safe-havens has created a bevy of cheap dividend stocks to buy, most of which yield about two or three times the miserable yield on the 10-year.

Here are the results...

20 Highly Recommended Financial Dividend Shares | Stock Buy List

Financial dividend stocks with highest buy recommendation originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". One sector I’ve tried to avoid in the past was the financial sector. I have only stocks from financial services provider like Thomson Reuters or some Stock Exchange Operator like the NYX. Some major investors and hedge funds have started bets on the post financial recovery earlier with no greater success.

The whole financial industry is still in a crises and this should go on. I don’t know how long. Jobs in the industry are still degraded and as long as the interest rates are low and there will be more and more jobs degraded.

Despite the bad sector news, Last year, the financial sector was the top performing bet with a 27.5 percent gain. I missed this opportunity but as of today, I cannot evaluate all the risks within the sector. I have no idea what kind of risk assets banks have and how they manage them.

Today, I like to show you the 20 best recommended financial stocks with a higher capitalization (over USD 2 billion). Below the results are five with a high yield.
