Dividend Yield: 7.5%

CaixaBank's dividend yield is among the top 25% in Spain, supported by a payout ratio of 57.3%, indicating current coverage by earnings. However, its dividend history has been unreliable and volatile over the past decade.

Additionally, ongoing M&A discussions regarding Novo Banco might impact future financial strategies and dividend policies.
