Dividend Yield: 3.1%
Bank of Baroda's dividend yield is in the top 25% of Indian market payers, supported by a low payout ratio of 20.9%, indicating dividends are well covered by earnings. However, past dividend payments have been volatile and unreliable. Recent strategic initiatives include launching a co-branded travel debit card with EaseMyTrip.com, enhancing customer offerings but not directly impacting dividends. The bank's high level of bad loans at 2.9% could pose risks to future dividend stability.
