The article, shortened and in plain language
ASX banking giants, such as National Australia Bank Ltd, are popular shares for passive-income investors seeking regular income.
What sets NAB apart from the other big four banks is its exposure to business lending and SME banking.
NAB also stands out because it earns a large portion of its revenue directly from its core lending activities, including loans and deposits.
Lets investigate, using a $5,000 investment as an example.
NAB shares have managed to rebound from an annual low in early June, but they're still down around 9% year-to-date and are 11% lower than 12 months ago.
NAB shares are $38.72 each.
The $38.72 trading price means a $5,000 investment buys about 129 shares.
NAB most recently paid its shareholders a franked interim dividend of 85 cents per share in July and is forecast to pay a final 85-cent dividend in December, bringing the total to $1.70 per share for FY26.
If the banking giant pays the forecasted $1.72 dividend to shareholders in FY27, then a $5,000 investment will generate $221.88 in passive income.
