Commonwealth Bank of Australia
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Dividend Yield: 3.3%
Commonwealth Bank of Australia has a dividend payout ratio currently at 82.1%, with forecasts suggesting coverage by earnings will remain sustainable over the next three years. However, its dividend yield of 3.26% is lower than the top quartile of Australian dividend payers, and its dividends have shown volatility over the past decade. Recent executive changes and fixed-income offerings may impact future financial stability but do not directly affect current dividend payments.
