About 1,942 CBA shares could generate $10,000 in annual dividends
Commonwealth Bank of Australia, or CBA, is a major Australian bank listed on the ASX.
It has a history of paying fully franked dividends twice a year, but its dividend income is not guaranteed.
At a share price of A$149.29 and a forecast dividend of A$5.15 per share for FY 2027, an investor would need about 1,942 shares to receive around A$10,000 a year before franking credits.
Buying that many shares at that price would cost about A$289,921.
Forecasts suggest the dividend could rise to A$5.30 per share in FY 2028, which would bring income from 1,942 shares to about A$10,293.
Those figures are estimates, and actual dividends will depend on CBA’s performance and economic conditions.
A weaker economy, more bad debts or pressure on lending margins could reduce earnings and dividends.
Around 1,942 Commonwealth Bank of Australia shares could generate about $10,000 in annual dividends before franking credits, based on a forecast for FY 2027.
At the article’s stated share price of $149.29, buying that number of shares would cost about $289,921.
The calculation uses a consensus forecast of $5.15 in fully franked dividends per share for FY 2027.
Consensus estimates cited in the article forecast dividends of $5.30 per share in FY 2028, which would give a 1,942-share holding about $10,293.
