The "Every Week Dividend Depot" from the "Welt" financial editorial team

The "Welt" financial editorial team has drawn up a proposal for a solid equity portfolio that pays dividends every week. This works with a combination of individual shares that pay dividends with a time lag.

US stocks are particularly suitable for this, as they usually pay out four times a year. Investors should not be blinded by the sheer amount of the dividend. Hajek (Rheinische Portfolio) warns against concentrating on supposedly high-dividend sectors: "Those who focus exclusively on utilities, pharmaceuticals and banks, for example, are missing out on growth momentum from tech and innovation."

With foreign shares, investors must be prepared for pitfalls such as withholding tax or currency risks. On the other hand, you can cover 48 weeks of the year with just twelve American blue chips, with twelve times four staggered distributions.

This is possible with this portfolio, for example:

Month 1 of the quarter

Coca-Cola $KO, Altria Group $MO, Cisco Systems $CSCO, Stryker $SYK

Month 2 of the quarter

General Mills $GIS, Deere & Co. $DE, Procter & Gamble $PG, Paychex $PAYX

Month 3 of the quarter

Visa $V, Johnson & Johnson $JNJ, McDonald $MCD and Linde plc. $LIN

That should never be the main motivation. Thanks for the contribution anyway 😃 Good quality 🚀

@DividendHawk Yes, it shouldn't be the main motivation. But when you're approaching retirement and know that it won't be enough to live on, a reasonably constant inflow of dividends is nice.
I don't want to worry about when I have to sell how much of which share in order to live off it.
Especially if there's a crash or a setback, like with Trump's tariff announcement. Buy and hold is more my motto. Knowing full well that dividends can also be cut or suspended, see Intel, which paid dividends for years. But I also have a few tech and growth stocks in my portfolio. The waiting time is also sweetened if you have a personal dividend yield of around 16%, as I do with PepsiCo, and have received far more dividends over the years than you paid for the shares. So my ROI is well over 100% ;-) My tip... not just 1 stock per week, but several. In other words, minimize risk by diversifying across several sectors and countries/currencies. And use price setbacks to top up. Or operate cost-average through savings plans.

Paychex surprised positively with its quarterly figures on Friday (19.12.).
In the second quarter of the current financial year 2025/26 (ending May 31), the US provider of HR and payroll services increased its revenue by 18% to USD 1.56 billion, almost exactly in line with market expectations (consensus: +18% to USD 1.57 billion).
At USD 1.26, adjusted earnings per share (EUR 97.45; US7043261079) were around 2.5% higher than analysts' estimates of USD 1.23.

Management was somewhat more optimistic about the rest of the financial year.

The company narrowed its guidance for earnings per share to an increase of 10 to 11% and thus set it at the upper end of the previously mentioned range of 9 to 11%.
The forecast for sales growth of 16.5% to 18.5% was confirmed.

Very good selection. Except for $PAYX, I'm not sure what will happen next
