Hey guys, again it is time to have a look at the recent dividend increases, in March and April there have been a couple of them :). As you all know the advantages of a dividend investor and especially of a dividend growth investor should be that the companies increase their dividends every year. This year I want to start tracking my dividend increases more carefully.
As you can see my portfolio consists of:
My goal is to have an average annual dividend growth of 7.5% per year. Giving the mixture of my portfolio this is a very challenging goal, as I do not have that many fast growing companies in my portfolio. But as you can see in my recent stock valuation articles in the future I will definitely concentrate my investment decision more on the potential dividend growth.
So let’s have a look at the recent dividend increases in 2017
US Stocks
Austrian Stocks
Based on the numbers of shares I have of each company and the already published dividend increases it makes an average dividend increase of 4.58%, which is behind my goal of 7.5%. As I just have started to track this development I am already looking forward to seeing the other increases which will come up in the next couple of months. To avoid any misunderstandings, I only included the declared dividend increases in 2017 and only of those stocks I have bought before the increase was declared. That’s why CVS and VFC are missing in that list.
