Our case for CCB is that it is a dividend play. Before looking at its financial statements, its scale as a bank is a reason why it has a higher likelihood to pay dividends, along with its yearly dividend policy. We think that based on its history of paying dividends, and given that its dividend yields have been historically lucrative, it is a great investment for dividend yield investors.
Historically lucrative dividend yields likely to continue, given strong balance sheet
