January 2017 Dividend Income

Time flies! We are now officially in the 5th year since I’ve started tracking and building my Dividend Growth Investing portfolio, which I call “The Dividend Machine“. For obvious reasons of course, as this 21st century printing press churns out digital dividends checks on regular basis. No need to pick them up at the mail box either as the process is streamlined to the most efficient detail of wealth building passively of course. I love it and I hope you love it too! Been a blast and here is to the many more years to come! 🍻

I enjoy publishing these monthly dividend income reports as I have gained a much better understanding in how much of my passive income is coming in every month and how much it is growing over time. For the month of January, I have received a total of 11 diversified direct deposits in the form of dividends straight to my brokerage account. Here it is!

 

Reynolds American, Inc. (RAI)	$21.62
Viacom, Inc. (VIAB)	$9.05
Wall-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT)	$8.06
Kimberly-Clark Corp. (KMB)	$9.28
PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP)	$20.39
Phillip Morris International, Inc. (PM)	$58.77
The Walt Disney Co. (DIS)	$12.48
Realty Income Corp. (O)	$9.83
Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (DLR)	$35.20
STAG Industrial, Inc. (STAG)	$5.21
The Buckle, Inc. (BKE)	$30.63
Total	$220.52

 

When statistically comparing last years dividend income total from January 2016 to January 2017, it represents a positive 20.2% for a year over year increased dividend growth. The growth difference from last quarter is positive 75.2% for a quarter over quarter increased dividend growth.

I will DRIP the following upcoming month: BKE, COP, KMI, MAT, TROW & VIAB.

The dividend income page is updated accordingly.

Thank you for reading & have a great day!
