With that aside, the April 2026 is essentially complete. That's why I'll be taking a moment to highlight my net dividend income for the month. Without further ado, let's dive into it!
Net Dividend Income Topped $400
In April 2026, I received $404.84 in net dividends (including withholdings/ADR fees for Novo Nordisk and ADR fees for GSK). That's up 33.9% over the $302.24 in net dividends collected in January 2026. Backing out the timing of dividend payments from NVO (there were also timing differences for PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, and JPMorgan Chase) but these didn't move the needle as much), my net dividends would have grown by 8.5%.
Compared to the $275.62 in net dividends received in April 2025, my net dividends posted a 46.9% year-over-year growth rate.
In my Charles Schwab portfolio, I collected $334.03 in net dividends from 23 companies during the month (these included KO, NVO, INTU, VSNT, and JPM). The timing of NVO's dividend payment was the primary driver of this higher income, as well as February 2026 stock purchases.
I also received $63.22 in net dividends from six companies in my Robinhood IRA account. Higher dividends from Automatic Data Processing and VICI Properties stemming mostly from January 2026 and February 2026 stock purchases were to credit for this higher dividend income.
Finally, I collected $7.59 in net dividends from two companies (Philip Morris International and Altria Group) within my Webull portfolio. That was unchanged from January.
Concluding Thoughts:
April 2026 marked the first time that I exceeded $400 in net dividends in the first month of a quarter. In the first four months of 2026, my net dividends rose by 27.8% versus this time in 2025. God willing, I hope to keep up a similar rate of dividend compounding throughout the year.
Discussion:
How was your April 2026 for dividend income?
Did you receive any semi-annual dividend payments like I did with NVO during the month?
