First BanCorp has increased its dividend four times in five years, with its financial health closely tied to Puerto Rico's economy, where most of its loans are concentrated. The bank's dividend yield stands at 2.8%, supported by a strong capital ratio and earnings, but rising auto loan delinquencies and volatile government deposits pose risks. While the local economy shows signs of growth, including reshoring projects and steady loan growth, the bank's exposure to Puerto Rico means any economic downturn there could impact its financial stability. The dividend appears safe for now, with buybacks more likely to be cut if conditions worsen.
