It’s time for my favorite type of post: a tally of the dividends I received in the prior month.
Given my strategy of DGI, it is really the dividend payouts that I care about. For each of the companies I invest in, I like to see a steady and growing stream of dividend payouts.
So how did I do in November?
Last month 12 companies sent me a dividend payout, adding up to a total of $262.
November is typically an ‘off month’ for receiving dividends as the majority of companies tend to pay out in March, September, October and December.
However, $262 is still a nice chunk of change though and adds nicely to my dividend goals for 2017. November brought my total received dividends for 2017 to ~$2,800 - in striking distance of my $3,000 goal for the entire year.
The following table shows the tickers of the companies that made a November 2017 dividend payout to my portfolio.
It features the dividend amount I received and any change in payout as compared to the last payout moment.
Ticker | Dividends Received | Dividend per Share Change |
---|---|---|
T | $24.50 | |
VZ | $29.50 | 2.16% |
CVS | $25.00 | |
STAG | $5.88 | |
OHI | $65.00 | 1.56% |
ACN | $19.95 | 9.92% |
ABBV | $25.60 | |
CAT | $23.40 | |
WSM | $11.70 | |
CLDT | $11.00 | |
SPG | $18.50 | 2.78% |
SBRA | $2.08 | 1.07% |
Look at the table, a nice - almost - 10% dividend increase from Accenture (ACN) stands out.
The Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI) dividend raise might not seem much, but the company has raised their payout every quarter since I bought it in August of 2015. Given it’s recent price drop I am actually tempted to add more.
Other dividend increases are as expected and nothing spectacular. But any dividend raise is a good raise.
Comparing the dividend payout of November 2016 to November 2017 (below) shows an increase from $103 to $262- a YoY growth of 154%.
Hi Tall Investing,
Great month and amazing growth year over year 🙂 I am glad to share T with you. Even though my income for November was ~20 times smaller, I am also happy to have received something 😀

Thanks BrokeInvestor – with enough time in the market that dividend income will increase 20-fold… and more!
Hi TI,
congrats on that awesome YOY growth rate of 154%!! and 262$ for the month is pretty solid too. When i look at the companies which paid you, i especially like ABBV, T, STAG, OHI and WSM…I’m absolutely happy with my November results - the dividend income total was 221$ and the yoy growth rate was 66%.

DividendSolutions,
It’s a great lineup of companies, and diversified among different industries and companies. ABBV has been on a tear this year, both in stock price as well as dividend growth.
Your dividend income for November is great, with a very decent YoY growth number.
Are you eying any new companies or are you adding to existing positions?
