Dividend Yield: 3.7%

The bank's dividend has shown consistent growth over the past decade and is forecasted to remain sustainable, with future coverage predicted at 48.5%.

Whitecap Resources (TSX:WCP)

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Dividend Yield: 7.1%

Whitecap Resources offers a 7.1% dividend yield, ranking in the top 25% of Canadian payers, but its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio (147.6%) and recent shareholder dilution. Despite stable dividends over the past decade, they have been unreliable with no growth. Recent earnings show significant revenue and net income increases, yet dividends are not fully covered by free cash flows or earnings, raising concerns for long-term reliability.
