February Dividend Update

Wow February is already over and it's time to report my dividend income, and what a month it was. February's dividend total was $268.88 which is up 15.4% from the $239.56 that I made last quarter in November. This was a new all time record and next month is looking good as well!

In comparison, last years February total was $207.52 which means my dividend's for the month have grown 29.5% YOY! Just like last month we are once again seeing some great growth YOY, hopefully next February will see similar growth.

This month I made 1 purchase which was Exxon ( I did not make a post because my previous purchase was also Exxon ) and I also received two dividend increases from T and KMI.

  February Purchases
  • Exxon (XOM) - 12 shares @ $88.06
  February Dividend Increases
  • Kinder Morgan (KMI) - From .44 to .45 ( a 2.2% increase )
  • AT&T (T) - From .46 to .47 ( a 2.1% increase )
  February Dividend Income
  • AT&T (T) - $63.45
  • General Mills (GIS) -  $31.98
  • WGL Holdings (WGL) - $29.04
  • Clorox (CLX) - $14.06
  • Tompkins Financial (TMP) - $10.92
  • Realty Income (O) - $18.90
  • Proctor & Gamble (PG) - $21.88
  • People's United Financial (PBCT) - $36.80
  • Kinder Morgan (KMI) - $41.85

  1. Looking good Captain. A 15.4% increase is outstanding. Your moving average on your monthly dividend income chart tells the story. Nice work sir.

    1. I'd love to see continued 15% growth. That would be something indeed. :-o

  2. Another great month with nice year over year numbers. I think you missed a few dividend increases for your portfolio: WMT, KO, and LO. WMT was disappointing, but I think LO and KO came through pretty well.

    1. To be clear those are realized dividend increases not just announced. Ya I agree on WMT, I think that makes it 2yrs in a row with low growth. I don't think I'll be buying any more WMT any time soon.

    2. Ah, didn't realize they were realized increases, not just ones that were announced.

      I have a very small position in WMT, and definitely don't plan on adding any more in the near future. I need to see the growth return.

  3. Great month of dividend income Captain. Also, nice pickup on XOM at $88. I agree with you both on WMT. However, I believe this may be short-term as they continue to invest in ramping up their digital efforts to compete with Amazon.

  6. Great Job Captain! Keep up the great work. Slow and steady wins the race. Just awesome! Feels so good earning passive dividend income. Take care.

  7. Very Nice Captain!! Looks like another record setting month...that chart seems to only grow with time! Receiving raises here and there (like the raise you just got from T and KMI) can't hurt either.

    We also own T and KMI and also saw the same raise in our passive income stream. :)

    Cheers to growing dividends! AFFJ

  13. CD,
    Congrats on another all time high, its a no brainer that you will definitely beat your all time high next month (with just one glance in your graph) especially you bought XOM that scheduled to pay on March.

    Solid month once again! That's an impressive graph you've got going there. Straight like an arrow and shooting right up.

  22. Great buys! The dividend growth on these companies (PM used to be MO) have been impressive over the decades they have been around. I am sure they will be able to continue their businesses in the future. I haven't added to PNY yet due to my fear of rate hikes.
