Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, Bank of Nova Scotia, Toronto-Dominion Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce have all increased their dividends after reporting strong third quarter earnings. Four Canadian banks are ranked among the world's six strongest banks according to Bloomberg Magazine. The average dividend yields of Canadian Banks are more than double those of U.S. banks.
"The balance sheets of banks in Canada are relatively healthy and they are very profitable entities, and that's what dividend increases show you," said Todd Johnson, a portfolio manager at BCV Asset Management. "It's going to be a lot slower growing business going forward, but it doesn't mean it's not a healthy industry."
