Paul Chiasson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/business\/article-laurentian-bank-slashes-dividend-by-40-per-cent-as-profits-tumble\/\">comments in the Globe<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Laurentian Bank of Canada slashed its dividend by 40 per cent on Friday after a sharp drop in profit, becoming the first large Canadian bank to cut its payout in nearly 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Montreal-based bank came into the COVID-19 crisis on a back foot, having struggled in recent years with wage disputes and a challenging transition toward digital banking that has seen it shutter many branches and phase out teller services.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>Canada\u2019s seventh largest bank reported a 79-per-cent drop in profit for the three months ended April 30, with net income falling to $8.9-million from $43.3-million in the same quarter last year. The decline was largely attributed to a spike in provisions for potential loan losses tied to weakening economic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Laurentian responded by cutting its quarterly dividend to 40 cents a share, down from 67 cents. This is the first time a large Canadian bank has cut its dividend since National Bank of Canada did so in 1992, according to data from Refinitiv.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>The bank\u2019s capital position deteriorated slightly in the quarter, with the closely watched common equity Tier 1 ratio falling to 8.8 per cent from 9 per cent. The bank said it now expects its capital levels \u201dwill remain below the level observed over the recent quarters.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The preferreds were relatively unscathed, with LB.PR.H down 1.5% on elevated volume and LB.PR.J down 0.38% on slightly above average volume.<\/p>\n<table border='1'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='8'><strong>HIMIPref&trade; Preferred Indices<br \/>These values
