Background

Benzinga highlights five finance stocks with healthy dividends, strong earnings growth, and upward momentum, offering alternatives to volatile tech stocks.
Current Situation
1st Source Corp. (SRCE) posted record EPS of $1.95 on revenue of $118 million, beating consensus by 13.7% and 9.2%, with EPS up 29% YoY. The bank raised its quarterly dividend twice this year to $0.45, with a payout ratio of 23.1% and 38 consecutive years of increases. SRCE shares are up 44% YTD.
TD Bank (TD) has beaten EPS estimates for six straight quarters and grown EPS by over 20% sequentially for three quarters. The stock yields 2.6% with a 50% payout ratio and is up 28% YTD.
BBVA reported record EPS of $0.62 and Q2 revenue of $12.2 billion on July 30. Revenue has grown double digits YoY in 12 of the last 14 quarters. The dividend yields 3.8% on a 49% payout ratio, with a 22% ROE. Shares are up 21% YTD.
Credicorp (BAP) posted record Q2 EPS of $6.59, missing estimates and failing to top double-digit YoY growth for the first time since Q2 2024. The Street projects Q3 EPS of $7.20. BAP has a $14.48 annual dividend (3.6% yield) and shares are up 38% YTD.

| Stock | YTD Return | Dividend Yield | Payout Ratio | Momentum Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SRCE | 44% | N/A | 23.1% | 89.82 |
| TD | 28% | 2.6% | 50% | 89.49 |

Impacts
These stocks offer income and growth potential for investors seeking alternatives to tech. SRCE's low payout ratio and consistent dividend increases may appeal to income-focused investors.
TD's high payout ratio of 50% could limit dividend growth, but its earnings momentum may support the payout. BBVA's high payout ratio is sustainable given its 22% ROE.
BAP's dividend story is strong with a 45% payout ratio and five-year history of increases. BPOP's low payout ratio and steady growth may support continued capital returns.
Future Outlook
Scenario analysis: The possibilities below are not certain predictions.
If SRCE maintains its earnings growth, it may continue to raise dividends and see further stock appreciation. However, any slowdown in EPS growth could pressure the stock.
TD's ability to sustain EPS growth could support its dividend and stock price. If the stock holds above the 50-day moving average, upside momentum may continue.
BBVA's breakout could lead to new highs if the RSI remains bullish. BAP's projected Q3 record EPS could drive further gains if achieved. BPOP's momentum may persist if it continues to beat estimates.
