U.K. bank HSBC has been one of the biggest leaders among major financial stocks this year, with a total return of 38.8% through July 20. That’s on top of its generous dividend yield, too. Like other major enterprises in the sector, it operates a diversified business, including personal and commercial banking, wealth management and capital markets segments – all areas that have been rising. HSBC reports later than some other financial stocks and won’t drop its second-quarter report until August. However, back in May it posted revenue growth of 64% year over year, proving the strength of its business. Therefore, HSBC is the best dividend paying bank stock for long term investors.
