DIVIDEND REPORT :: DECEMBER 2021

by

For December 2021, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from twenty-five different companies (AFL, PSX, INTC, F, HON, LYB, JNJ, V, AMGN, SNA, EVR, WBA, CVX, MET, SWKS, RHI, FAF, NWL, TSN, PRU, LEA, TROW, EVC, AVGO, & SPG). The total was $491.66. This was a 11% increase from December of 2020 where the total was $444.73. The increase was due to new payments from AMGN, CVX, & FAF. A resumption of the dividend from F, SPG paying out in December this year which they did not do last year, and increased payments from the remaining payers. The increase is also despite of no special payment from MSM this year, which accounted for 38% of December 2020’s total payment so we’re really happy to see us beat the year over year.

This December payment put us well over the $7,000.00 mark for the year, with the total dividends in 2021 closing out at $7,241.99.

A full recap of 2021 and comparison year over year will be posted in the coming weeks.

STOCK PURCHASES :: ABBV, AEG, AFL, AMGN, INTC, MO, OHI, PRU, WBA, & VZ

by

We purchased 2 shares of AMGN for $413.56; 2 shares of AFL for $108.48; 2 shares of INTC for $96.79;  2 shares of ABBV for $227.70; 6 shares of MO for $266.10;  3 shares of OHI for $90.00; 2 shares of PRU for $223.68; 3 shares of VZ for $158.67; 3 shares of WBA for $141.63; and 1 share of AEG for $5.04.

DIVIDEND REPORT :: OCTOBER 2021

by
For October 2021, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from eight different companies (VALE, MO, LECO, GNTX, CMCSA, CSCO, CIM, & FL). The total was $2,334.46. This was a increase of 231% from October of 2020 where the total was $704.33.

This massive month was all due to a huge payout from VALE. VALE alone paid out over $2,000.00 this month. This was a regular dividend payment from VALE but the large amount was due mostly to iron-ore prices more than doubling during the pandemic. The spot price has since fallen to more normal levels so we unfortunately don’t expect repeat cash outs like this but no complaints when they come in. Further, comparing with last October there was no new payers this month and actually one less payment as SPG paid out in September this year instead of October.

Last month we noted we crossed our goal of $4,000.00 for the year. One month later we’ve now crossed $6,000.00 for the year. With two months left we’re going to see if we can cross $7,000.00. If we can. the real challenge then will be trying to top it in 2022.

STOCK PURCHASES :: ABBV, AFL, FAF, CVX, OHI, T, PRU, VZ, WBA, AMGN, MO, AEG

by

In the month of September we continued our small purchases of companies already in our portfolio. We purchased 1 share of AMGN for $214.29; 3 shares of AFL for $157.53; 3 shares of FAF for $202.44;  2 shares of ABBV for $218.68; 1 share of CVX for $102.77; 3 shares of MO for $138.57; 2 shares of T for $54.40;  3 shares of OHI for $90.27; 2 shares of PRU for $211.30; 3 shares of VZ for $162.66; 3 shares of WBA for $142.83; and 7 shares of AEG for $35.74.

DIVIDEND REPORT :: JULY 2021

by
For July 2021, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from twelve different companies (TROW, AEG, VALE, MO, LECO, GNTX, SPG, MSM, CMCSA, CSCO, FL, & CIM). The total was $969.50 This was a massive 379% increase from July of 2020 where the total was $202.21.

The increase was mostly due to (2) special dividend payments. One from TROW at $3.00/share and the other from VALE at $0.436/share. VALE has been crushing it this year and the CEO even suggested a possible special fourth (VALE typically pays bi-annually) dividend in December. We also saw payments from FL and AEG who this time last year had suspended their payments.

We had one new payment from CSCO, CIM paying out in July instead of August like last year, and increased payments from MO, LECO, GNTX, CMCSA, SPG, and MSM. This was all in spite of regular payments from AVGO, EVC, and TROW hitting in June this year instead of July as in 2020. As noted throughout our posts this year, we expect the year over year percentages to vary wildly from month to month as the pandemic threw off the typical months a bunch of our companies payout.

However, we know things are going well as we just passed our 2020 total dividends and there’s still FIVE months to go in 2021.

DIVIDEND REPORT :: SEPTEMBER 2020

by

For September 2020, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from seventeen different companies (PSX, SWKS,V, HON, JNJ, LYB, SNA, EVR, WBA, RHI, TSN, NWL, PRU, AEG, TROW, EVC, AVGO). The total was $243.18. This was a 59% increase from September of 2019 where the total was only $153.35. The difference was increased payments from V, SNA, LYB, PRU, WBA, TSN, NWL, RHI, SWKS, and TROW.  New payments from PSX, HON, JNJ, and EVR. Plus EVC and AVGO paying out in September this year instead of October like last year.

This is also in spite of F making no dividend payment and payments from AEG and EVC essentially being cut in half due to COVID-19. We cautiously hope to continue the beat streak month over month and finish the year out strong. We are also happy to see our yearly total break the $2,000.00 mark this month and we still have three more months to go!

DIVIDEND REPORT: JULY 2020

by

For July 2020, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from nine different companies (TROW, AVGO, EVC, MO, LECO, GNTX, CMCSA, SPG, & MSM). The total was $202.21. This was a 27% increase from July 2019 where the total was $159.10. The difference was increased payments from TROW, AVGO, MO, GNTX, and CMCSA. New payments from LECO, MSM, and SPG. And in spite of EVC cutting their dividend and CIM not paying dividends this July, but instead in August. Overall, this is a another good month and we cautiously hope to continue the streak month over month as the companies in our portfolio deal with the Covid-19 Pandemic. The great news is with the increase this month we have now surpassed our entire yearly total from 2019 ($1,389.58) and we still have five more months to go!
