Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: CNB Financial Corporation, with a market cap of $506.58 million, operates as the bank holding company for CNB Bank, offering a range of banking products and services to individual, business, governmental, and institutional customers.
Operations: The primary revenue segment for CNB Financial Corporation is its Banking operations, generating $219.89 million.
Dividend Yield: 3%
CNB Financial’s dividend payments have been stable and reliable over the past decade, with a reasonably low payout ratio of 30.5%, indicating they are well covered by earnings. Although its current yield of 3.02% is below the top quartile in the US market, it remains attractive due to its consistent growth and stability.

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: The Buckle, Inc. is a U.S.-based retailer specializing in casual apparel, footwear, and accessories for men, women, and kids under the Buckle and Buckle Youth brands, with a market cap of approximately $2.42 billion.
Operations: Buckle’s revenue primarily comes from its sales of casual apparel, footwear, and accessories, totaling $1.23 billion.
Dividend Yield: 8.3%
Buckle’s dividend yield of 8.25% ranks in the top quartile among US payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 97.8%, indicating dividends aren’t covered by free cash flow. Despite volatility over the past decade, dividends have grown. Recent sales growth and inclusion in multiple Russell indices highlight market recognition, though earnings coverage remains stronger than cash flow support for dividends.
