Building my dividend portfolio, which one would you pick?

I have been building my portfolio this year and it is doing quite well. Currently my focus is diversifying my portfolio. I have some nice performers in my portfolio like $BESI (+1,11 %) , $ABN (+0,52 %) , $EVO (+1,21 %) , $VLK (+1,75 %) . A few others are still underperforming for now but are known stable companies like $ALV (+0,92 %) and $TTE (+2,74 %) . My focus now is also a bit towards US stocks due to dollar diversification since I am mainly invested in Europe, Switserland and Scandinavia. I am always looking for companies with strong balance sheets, low debt ratio's compared to their peers, growth, dividend and maybe undervalued. One great example is $EVO (+1,21 %) which I expect to launch🚀 in the coming year.

I'm looking at three dividend stocks right now: $PFE (+1,3 %), $AEP (+0,34 %) and $ENEL (-0,82 %). They each have different profiles, and I'm trying to figure out which could be the most attractive at this point.

$PFE (+1,3 %) seems undervalued. The stock is still well below its pre-COVID levels, the balance sheet is strong, and the dividend is over 5 percent. The real question is whether the company can return to solid growth with its pipeline.

$AEP (+0,34 %) is a US utility with stable cash flow, a solid dividend track record, and relatively low debt. It doesn’t move fast, but it offers a good level of reliability and income, especially if rates come down.

$ENEL (-0,82 %) is more of a question mark. The dividend is growing by nearly 9 percent a year and paid in multiple installments, which I like. But the stock is already up over 20 percent this year. Debt is quite high, and revenue growth is limited. I like the exposure to renewables, but I'm not sure if this is the right entry point.

What do you think of these names?
Any clear favourites? Or red flags?

Also curious: what are your expectations for the USD-EUR exchange rate in the second half of the year? I'm considering the FX angle too, since two of these names are US-listed.

@equity_partner_2012 I have stocks like ING, Aegon, Aperam with nice dividend. But i'm 60 so, must be careful. last years i only invest in High
Dividend Fund like KGHDF from Kempen and 6-7 High Dividend ETF's. They give me every month a passive income and i sleep well. 😴

@mickey1399 true at some point you don't want to be too active trader. I am building up and like to analyse and research. I have learned a lot in the past months. I also have $ING , $NN , $VLK which are performing well. Thanks Ron.

In the dividend stock department I currently have $MUV2 , $BATS , $RIO and $WPC .
I also have $TRMD A and $PETR3 - but these are more risky.

As soon as I have some money I plan to add $PFE . From the banks I am looking into $HSBA and/or $ING . I also like $KHC .

Actually I do like $ENEL - i have it on my watchlist.

If one does not want to go into individual shares one might want to take a look at $JEGP or $IAPD

@NichtRelevant thanks, i also noticed $RIO its on my list. Some interesting ones like $KHC . I am currently highly invested in banks and insurance companies so looking to diversify a bit. Your comment is helpful.

Did you ever consider $MELE the Belgian chip stock ?

equity_partner_2012@equity_partner_2012

Never heard of it. I will look into it. Thanks.

I just looked at it and it seems to be a strong company. It is certainly a candidate for my portfolio. I believe the potential in terms of stock price is 20 to 30% upside which is interesting and the dividend 5%+ is also good. The only risk is the exposure to the automotive industry which is really difficult in Europe currently. But based on the past 5 years a solid stock.
