No. Westpac Banking Corp Unsponsored ADR (WBKCY) does not pay a dividend, and no dividend payment appears anywhere in the filing history we hold.
How does Westpac Banking Corp Unsponsored ADR return cash to shareholders?+
Through share buybacks rather than dividends. Over the last twelve months Westpac Banking Corp Unsponsored ADR reduced its share count at a rate equivalent to a 1.4% buyback yield. A buyback returns value by shrinking the share count, so each remaining share owns more of the business, but unlike a dividend it pays you nothing in cash and can be stopped at any time without an announcement.
