The Season For Dividends Is Upon Us

Spring is like second Christmas for us dividend investors residing in Sweden, since the majority of the Nordic companies distribute their dividends that time a year. I would have preferred that Swedish companies, like their American counterparts, would payout dividends quarterly so that my dividend stream would become more evenly distributed, but things might change in the future, who knows.

This is how my dividend stream is distributed over the course of the year.

My dividend season has, as you can see above, already started with dividend payments coming in from Apple and Deere & Co. However, it's during March that the season kicks off properly. April is by far the most prominent dividend month followed by May, March and June, in descending order.

Having both a trip to the United States and dividend season to look forward to next month is great. What does your dividend season look like?

Have a nice day out there!

Additional Data About The Companies On My Watch List

When looking at the Watch List, every now and then, I found my self missing information such as current dividend yield and P/E-ratio. Instead of looking elsewhere, I have expanded the information about the companies on my Watch List. More specifically I added an additional table on the same page as the Watch List.

The new tabel, that contains valuation data about all the companies on my watch list, consists of the following columns:

• Company
• Ticker (symbol)
• Market (Marketplace: STO = Stockholm, STLO = Oslo, NYSE = New York, NASDAQ, HEL = Helsinki)
• Price (Current)
• Yield (Current yield)
• Payout Ratio (Payout ratio based on EPS (last four quarters) and the current dividend)
• P/E-Ratio TMM (based on EPS for the last four quarters)
• EPS TTM (Earnings per share for the last four quarters)
• Dividend (dividend on an annual basis)

You can find the table under the menu item: Watch List in the upper right side of the blog. I hope that the table will be beneficial for not only me, but anybody who reads the blog. 

Have a nice day!
