April 2024 Dividend Income

As I'm writing this blog post, it is currently Wednesday, May 1. The temperature is expected to reach a high of 68 degrees Fahrenheit here in Central Wisconsin. That's why aside from my usual treadmill and weights routine, I plan on getting outside for at least a half an hour to an hour later today.

With that aside, a new month means now is a great time to reflect on my portfolio's net dividend income for April 2024. Without further ado, I'll jump into it!

A Decent Month Considering Recent Portfolio Activity

During April 2024, I received $246.69 in net dividends. This was 7.2% less than the $265.76 in net dividends that I collected in January 2024. However, when adjusting for some special items, my net dividends would have grown by 6.4% in April over that month.

Via my forced sale of Spirit Realty (SRC) to Realty Income (O) due to the latter's acquisition, this was a $7.06 hit to my net dividends. My sale of Leggett & Platt (LEG) in January was a $14.72 drag on my net dividends. The timing of Digital Realty Trust's (DLR) dividend also weighed on my net dividends to the tune of $12.20.

Against the $222.78 in net dividends that I received in April 2023, this was a 10.7% year-over-year growth rate (before accounting for the above items).

In my Charles Schwab account, I collected $236.23 in net dividends from 27 companies. The aforementioned headwinds from SRC, LEG, and DLR were partially offset by dividend raises.

My net dividends received from four companies in my Webull account were unchanged at $10.24.

Concluding with my M1 Finance account, I collected $0.22 in net dividends from nine companies. This was also the same as January 2024.

Concluding Thoughts:

My net dividends dipped below $250 in April. But moving forward, they should climb back above that in July and beyond. Besides dividend increases, this is because of my dividend stock purchases made in March 2024.
