National Australia Bank Ltd has long been popular with income investors, much like the rest of the big four banks.
As Australian businesses grow, borrow, invest, and manage their finances, NAB has an opportunity to grow alongside them.
With NAB shares trading around $38.47 on Wednesday, those forecasts translate into prospective dividend yields of about 4.4% and 4.5%, respectively.
At around $38.47, the valuation looks reasonable to me, while forecast franked dividends offer a dividend yield of about 4.4% to 4.5%.

The article, shortened and in plain language
National Australia Bank Ltd has long been popular with income investors, much like the rest of the big four banks.
The combination of large profits and franked dividends has made the banking sector a place to look for passive income.
The bank has exposure to small and medium-sized businesses across Australia, giving it a different earnings mix from some of its rivals.
As Australian businesses grow, borrow, invest, and manage their finances, NAB has an opportunity to grow alongside them.
Consensus estimates point to franked dividends of $1.70 per share in FY26 and $1.72 per share in FY27.
With NAB shares trading around $38.47 on Wednesday, those forecasts translate into prospective dividend yields of about 4.4% and 4.5%, respectively.
NAB shares are trading well below their 52-week high of $49.45 and are now closer to their 52-week low of $35.48.
At today's price, that puts NAB on a PE ratio of about 16 times forecast FY26 earnings and 15 times FY27 earnings.
At around $38.47, the valuation looks reasonable to me, while forecast franked dividends offer a dividend yield of about 4.4% to 4.5%.
