RE:7.55% dividendIt has been decades since one of the big 5 Canadian banks served up a dividend cut.
National Bank cut in 1992. Laurentian Bank more recently.
But the big 5 made it through the mess in the 1980s, the 2008 crisis and the peak of the pandemic without reducing dividends.
BMO's yield was briefly 10% in the credit crisis. I bought some. I wish I had bought more.
