Here's a look at the Top 10 holdings in my #dividend portfolio... $AVGO and $QCOM have grown to exceed a 5% weighting. If you could replace one stock, which would it be and what would you replace it with?

June got off to a strong start in my #dividend Portfolio with 4 dividend payments totaling $250.25 $AFL provided over 55% of that dividend total. It's a stock I've owned since 1996 and have dripped since the beginning. Dividends from $AFL have exceeded my invested capital.

My #dividend Portfolio be closing out Q1'23 with a solid slate of #dividends from $AVGO, $PEP and $UNP. All 3 stocks will provide a triple-digit payment. Any chance you own all 3 of these stocks as well?

Today was a glorious day for #dividends in my Portfolio. I raked in $456.34 from 7 dividend stocks. This is certainly not the norm, but it's nice when it happens.

My Portfolio dividend raises in 2022 were good, although they didn't quite measure up to those from 2021. All the #dividend raises produced over $1,173 of additional forward dividend income. I love that! Additional commentary in the following post... engineeringdividends.com/202…

Monday will be a terrific day for #dividends in my Portfolio. I expect 8 different companies to send over $472 my way. I believe that will be the most I've collected in a single day. What a wonderful way to kick off the week. Hopefully, some dividends come your way, too.

Caterpillar $CAT announced a welcomed 7.77% #dividend raise today, after holding the dividend steady in 2020. The raise produced a $9.99 increase in my Portfolio's forward dividend income. Even better, that forward dividend income boost put my Portfolio over the $13K mark!

Another nice #dividend raise from one of my Portfolio stocks this morning. This time it was UnitedHealth Group $UNH with a 16% raise. This continues the strong 15%+ raises from UNH over the past decade! The raise also provided a $21.17 boost to my forward dividend income.

Yesterday's #dividend raise of 4.95% from Johnson & Johnson $JNJ fell a bit short of their annual increases from the recent past. However, it led to a forward dividend income bump of $18.95 for me. Even better, it pushed my JNJ quarterly payouts into triple-digits... $100+!

Loved hearing about that 10% dividend raise from Procter & Gamble $PG today. The increase will boost my annual forward dividend income by $41.77. The raise should lead to YoY dividend growth of 9.05% from PG in 2021, their best since 2011.

A few of my Portfolio companies struggled to raise their dividend in 2020, but overall I was happy with the results... especially given the uncertain economic environment.
