February 2024 Dividend Income

As I'm writing this blog post, it is Saturday, February 24. The temperature here in Central Wisconsin remains quite warm, with the high temperature expected to reach 34 degrees Fahrenheit today.

With that aside, I am going to highlight my net dividend income for February 2024.

In February 2024, I received $351.91 in net dividends. That works out to a 7.4% growth rate over the $327.57 in net dividends that I collected in November 2023.

My net dividends were 41.9% higher versus the $248.08 in net dividends that I received in February 2023.

Digging into detail, I collected $335.97 from 29 companies in my Robinhood account. My net dividends received within my Webull portfolio were $15.57 from three companies (inclusive of $0.06 of ADR fees for British American Tobacco). Finally, I collected $0.37 in net dividends from 15 companies in my M1 Finance account.

The net dividends that I received from November 2023 to February 2024 rose by $24.34, which was the result of the following activity in my portfolio:

My net dividends received from Medifast (MED) in my Robinhood account were $11.55 less, which was the result of my sale in December.

I collected $8.13 less from United Parcel Service (UPS) within my Robinhood and M1 Finance portfolios. That was due to the timing of the dividend payment.

I also received $3.66 less in net dividends from TJX Companies (TJX) in my Robinhood account, which was the result of the dividend payment timing.

I received an extra $0.22 in net distributions from Energy Transfer (ET) in my Robinhood and Webull portfolios, which was the result of the 0.8% raise in the quarterly distribution per unit to $0.315.

My net dividends collected from Main Street Capital (MAIN) grew by $0.15 within my Robinhood account. This was due to the 2.1% bump in its monthly dividend per share to $0.24.

I received an additional $3.93 in net dividends from Realty Income (O) in my Robinhood portfolio. That was the result of my higher share count associated with the shares I received related to the Spirit Realty Capital acquisition.

My net dividends collected from STAG Industrial (STAG) were $0.02 higher within my Robinhood account, which was due to the 0.7% increase in its monthly dividend per share to $0.1233.

I received an extra $0.36 in net dividends from Alliant Energy (LNT) in my Robinhood portfolio. That was the result of the 6.1% raise in the quarterly dividend per share to $0.48.

My net dividends collected from AbbVie (ABBV) were $0.98 higher within my Robinhood account, which was due to the 4.7% increase in the quarterly dividend per share to $1.55.

I received an additional $0.24 in net dividends from Abbott Laboratories (ABT) in my Robinhood portfolio. That was the result of the 7.8% raise in the quarterly dividend per share to $0.55.

My net dividends collected from ONEOK (OKE) were $1.19 higher within my Robinhood account, which was due to the 3.7% increase in the quarterly dividend per share to $0.99.

I received an extra $0.79 in net distributions from Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) in my Robinhood and Webull portfolios. That was the result of the 3% raise in the quarterly distribution per unit to $0.515.

My net distributions collected from MPLX LP (MPLX) were $27.20 higher within my Robinhood account, which was due to my purchases in November and December.

I received an additional $0.48 in net dividends from British American Tobacco (BTI) in my Robinhood portfolio.

My net dividends collected from Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) were $0.66 higher within my Robinhood account. That was the result of the 5.3% raise in the quarterly dividend per share to $0.60.

I received an extra $10.20 in net dividends from American Tower (AMT) in my Robinhood portfolio, which was due to the timing of the dividend payment and the 5.6% raise in the quarterly dividend per share to $1.70.

My net dividends collected from CVS Health (CVS) were $0.90 higher within my Robinhood account. That was the result of the 9.9% raise in the quarterly dividend per share to $0.665.

I received an additional $0.36 in net dividends from Mastercard (MA) in my Robinhood portfolio, which was due to the 15.8% boost in the quarterly dividend per share to $0.66.

Concluding Thoughts:

February 2024 was the first middle of the month quarter that my net dividend income surpassed $350. As I resume investing soon, reinvest dividends, and receive dividend raises, this should hopefully continue to grow over time.

Discussion:

How was your February 2024 for dividend income?

Did you receive any first-time distributions/dividends as I did with MPLX?
