Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: The Toronto-Dominion Bank, along with its subsidiaries, offers a range of financial products and services across Canada, the United States, and internationally, with a market cap of CA$206.46 billion.
Operations: Toronto-Dominion Bank's revenue is primarily derived from Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking (CA$18.54 billion), Wealth Management and Insurance (CA$14.56 billion), U.S. Retail (CA$10.79 billion), Wholesale Banking (CA$8.10 billion), and Corporate services (CA$11.27 billion).
Dividend Yield: 3.5%
Toronto-Dominion Bank has transitioned to a semi-annual dividend review, recently declaring a CAD 1.08 per share dividend for Q1 2026. Despite a lower-than-market-average yield of 3.54%, TD's dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade, with a payout ratio of 36.3% indicating sustainability. The bank reported significant earnings growth last year but faces an expected earnings decline over the next three years, which could impact future dividend increases.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Whitecap Resources Inc. is involved in the acquisition, development, and production of petroleum and natural gas properties in Western Canada, with a market cap of CA$14.37 billion.
Operations: Whitecap Resources Inc.'s revenue primarily comes from its Oil & Gas - Exploration & Production segment, which generated CA$4.52 billion.
Dividend Yield: 6.2%
Whitecap Resources confirmed a CAD 0.0608 dividend per share for November, maintaining this payout since September. Despite a high cash payout ratio of 133.4%, dividends remain covered by earnings with a reasonable payout ratio of 66.9%. However, the dividend's sustainability is questionable due to insufficient free cash flow coverage and past volatility in payments. Recent earnings growth and increased production provide some positive outlook, but shareholder dilution remains a concern.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Wajax Corporation operates in Canada, offering industrial products and services, with a market capitalization of CA$596.70 million.
Operations: Wajax Corporation generates revenue primarily through its Wholesale - Machinery & Industrial Equipment segment, which accounts for CA$2.15 billion.
Dividend Yield: 5.1%
Wajax's dividend stability is underscored by a low cash payout ratio of 16.9%, ensuring coverage by cash flows, while a reasonable earnings payout ratio of 65.7% supports sustainability. The company has consistently increased dividends over the past decade, though its yield of 5.11% lags behind top-tier Canadian payers. Recent financial results show improved earnings and revenue growth, but significant insider selling and high debt levels could pose risks to dividend reliability moving forward.
