  • Columbia Banking System Sets Ex-Dividend Date in Four Days with 5.0% Yield
    May 24, 2026, 9:23 AM EDT. Columbia Banking System, Inc. (NASDAQ:COLB) will trade ex-dividend in four days, with a $0.37 payment due June 15. Investors must buy shares before May 29 to receive dividends. The bank's dividend payout ratio is 43%, signaling a sustainable dividend compared to earnings. However, earnings per share have declined 9.0% annually over five years, potentially pressuring dividend growth despite a 3.9% annual dividend increase over a decade. With a 5.0% yield and a cautious outlook on earnings, Columbia Banking System presents a balanced but unexciting dividend opportunity for shareholders.
