The trend is upwards incl. dividend only a minus of around 16% 😀

Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for 1 or 2 dividend stocks, what else do you have in your portfolios? I currently have $MUX (+3,63%)
$HSBA (+0,58%)
$VIG (+1,12%)
$ISP (+0,49%)
$VAR (-0,57%)
$RIO (+0,91%)
$NN (-0,22%)
$KO (+0,39%)

I'm looking for something that doesn't come from the commodities, insurance or banking sectors. I have possibly thought of $BATS (-0,33%) thought of.

Thank you for your input.

PS: $PEP (+0,2%) and $MCD (+0,1%) I would not like to have as a dividend stock.

Hello everyone, 👋🏻

Today was the day again. I sold the following positions:

$VAN (+0,49%)

$WSU (+0,13%)

$GYC (-0,53%)

I sold my positions because I am no longer personally convinced by the companies and I am switching my dividend income. The shares I sold were one-time payers for the year.

My aim is to receive regular dividends every month in future. 💸

The money that was freed up was invested in two positions. On the one hand, I increased my position in $PEP (+0,2%) and the other position $HRL (-0,26%) is now a new addition to my portfolio. ✔️

Other positions in my portfolio will be increased again and again in the near future. I'm already doing quite well for the year.

January, February, August, etc. still bother me personally. Do you have any tips for reputable dividend stocks? 🤔

Thank you for your attention! 🤗

Alphabet, Google's holding company, continues to be one of the most solid examples of long-term value creation. Although the risks associated with its business have been widely mentioned, notably the lawsuits threatening the sale of search and the impact of LLMs on the search engine's growth, the company has proved resilient.

Its business model combines scalability, profitability and a continuous commitment to innovation:

- Market dominance: it has more than 90% of the global search market and more than 2 billion active users on YouTube; 📊

- Highly profitable model: robust operating margins, cash generation capacity and an ROIC of over 35%; 📈

- Growing diversification: although 75% of revenue still comes from advertising, the accelerated growth of Google Cloud and digital subscriptions (YouTube Premium, Google One) is reducing this dependency; 🚀

- Betting on AI: Alphabet is integrating Gemini into Search, YouTube and Workspace, opening up new sources of monetization; 📌

- Robust cash reserves: more than 100 billion dollars in liquidity, making it possible to finance massive investments in AI and infrastructure without compromising financial strength; 💼

- Long-term strategic options: through Other Bets, it maintains exposure to emerging areas with high growth potential, such as autonomous mobility (Waymo), digital health (Verily) and longevity (Calico).

This balance between highly profitable core business, growth diversification and disruptive strategic bets is what makes Alphabet a unique company and an investment that continues to deserve attention.

The shares of PepsiCo ($PEP (+0,2%) ) rose sharply on Tuesday following a report in the Wall Street Journal. At times, they gained around four percent. The background to this is the entry of activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which has reportedly acquired shares worth around four billion US dollars in the drinks and snacks giant.

This position makes Elliott one of the five largest active investors in the group, excluding index funds. The newspaper also reported that the fund wants to push for changes at PepsiCo in order to revive the recent weak share price performance. It is not yet clear which specific measures could be the focus.

The group itself has been battling headwinds for several quarters: Pepsi has lost market share to rivals in the important soft drinks business, while the snacks and food segment, long celebrated as a growth driver, has also come under increasing pressure.

The investment is one of the largest single positions in Elliott's history. Observers see this as a signal that the fund could initiate a correspondingly ambitious campaign to realign PepsiCo.
