Dividend figures are cash dividend announcements as listed in PSX book-closure data (percentage of face value, converted to rupees per share using the listed face value). They may be interim or final payouts and cover only announcements in our database, so a blank does not mean a bank pays no dividend. "Dividend as % of price" divides that single announced payout by the latest close and is not an annual yield. Always check the company announcement.
What to look at when comparing bank dividends
- Payout consistency: a record of regular payouts over several years says more than one announcement.
- Capital position: banks must keep capital above regulatory minimums, which can limit payouts. See how bank capital requirements affect EPS and dividends.
- Earnings per share and payout ratio: check that dividends are covered by profits.
- Price risk: a high dividend relative to price does not protect against share price falls.
- Tax: dividend income is taxed in Pakistan; rates change, so check the current rate for your situation.
