Royal Bank of Canada T.RY

Are the dividends safe?

Hi everybody. I am relatively new to investing in stocks and I am trying to determine if the dividends provided by Royal Bank would be considered safe in the long run, meaning 10 years +. Thank you for any input.

RBC has paid dividends to shareholders every year since 1870, same as the other four big banks.

Short answer, yes, VERY safe. Should form a major part of every buy and hold investors portfolio, along with TD. I noticed you asked this question on a number of different boards. The far better question would be, how do I analyse a stock properly, including the safety of its dvidends. Relying on complete strangers for investment advice is a poor way to make decisions. There are some total morons
