Sometimes it’s not the well-known tech giants that make the most exciting stories in your portfolio.

For me, it’s currently a company that many probably don’t even have on their radar: Höegh Autoliners.

My position is now up over 100%—and that’s despite a dividend yield that makes many people do a double-take at first.

But that’s exactly where it gets interesting:

Höegh doesn’t just transport cars. The company is at the center of a structural shift in the global automotive trade.

China is exporting more and more vehicles worldwide. In the first half of 2026, Chinese vehicle exports were already 66% higher than the previous year. At the same time, available RoRo capacity is becoming scarcer, and Höegh reports that its fleet is operating at full capacity. (Höegh Autoliners)

At first glance, the Q2 figures were weaker:

• $376 million in revenue
• $122 million in EBITDA
• $86 million net income

However, the reason is significant: high fuel costs and geopolitical upheavals in the Middle East have weighed on earnings. The fuel effect alone cost approximately $22 million in the quarter. (Investing.com)

And that’s exactly why I find the current situation exciting.

Because if these one-time costs subside, while exports to China continue to grow and market capacity remains tight, the company could $HAUTO (+3,7%) continue to offer an attractive combination of cash flow, dividends, and growth.

The company itself expects the BAF/fuel surcharge to return to normal over the course of Q3. At the same time, charter rates for the industry have risen significantly. (thedcn.com.au)

For me, Höegh is therefore not a stock I hold solely for the dividend.

I see this as a bet on a long-term trend:

More Chinese vehicles + more global vehicle transport + tight shipping capacity = an interesting starting point for a specialized player.

Of course, shipping remains a cyclical industry. The dividend isn’t guaranteed, and high payouts can fluctuate.

But that’s exactly what makes the stock interesting to me.

+100% price gain realized.

Dividends collected.

And yet the position remains in my portfolio.

Now I’m curious:

Which of you are also invested in Höegh Autoliners—and do you hold the stock for the dividend or for the long-term story?

$HAUTO (+3,7%) It's out…

What should I put in now? 🤔

Hoegh actually was a pretty good fit for my portfolio (logistics sector)

So now, maybe $MAERSK A (+3,6%) or $HLAG (+2,18%) add it?

So many questions…

Hoegh Autoliners $HAUTO (+3,7%) released its latest quarterly results today and announced the amount of its next cash dividend. Investors aren’t happy about this for now, and the stock is down significantly in early trading.

Although revenue and EPS exceeded expectations, Hoegh is struggling with its operating performance. High fuel costs and the impact of the Iran conflict are putting significant pressure on margins.

What will upset many even more is that Hoegh has drastically cut its dividend to just $0.0839. The company hopes this will allow it to keep more cash on its balance sheet.

The dividend cut at Hoegh Autoliners isn’t just a cosmetic move; rather, it changes the earnings logic quite significantly. If this continues, it would fundamentally alter the investment thesis for many.

What do you think? A one-time blip in the dividend. Sell? Or wait and see if improvement is in sight? The outlook for the next quarter is relatively subdued; results are expected to remain roughly flat.

Another month has passed, and it’s time once again to take a quick look into the engine room...

...actually, not much has changed in the big picture, except that after 38 months of consistent performance, the 40k mark has been broken, and so the final sprint of the first half has now begun...

...it’s not a high-flyer portfolio, but so far it’s been a solid growth story, and as the saying goes, every little bit helps...

...which is why YTD hasn’t changed much either...

...nor has it since the very beginning...

...the structure, however, is a different story, and so there were a few changes to the portfolio this month...

As a logistics specialist, I am considering expanding this area in my portfolio.

I currently have :

$KCC (+3,23%)
$DHL (+1,2%)
$MPCC (+5,41%) and a very small position $HAUTO (+3,7%)

I am clearly in the black with all positions.

From my professional experience, I see clear potential in the sector, but I lack inspiration.

What is your top stock in the sector, or where would you like to invest?

What a wild ride that was, please ?!? Even the poor kangaroo gets sick...

...and personally don't really believe that the current situation is the end of "Pinky and the Brain"...

... "Pinky" still has to live up to the bets of all his boddies, has his back to the wall domestically with regard to the mid-terms and "the Brain" still has no interest in the end, after all, he still wants to permanently occupy at least southern Lebanon (incorporate the country) and therefore continues to escalate...

...my conclusion from this is that "Pinky" will launch a limited ground offensive over Easter or shortly afterwards in order to sell it strategically at home or to be able to announce something successful at all, the outcome of which is still completely open, while "the Brain" is already forging plans on how he can continue to pursue his goals even after a possible US exit - the end is open - regardless of the fact that the energy issue will still not be resolved after the end 🤷🏻‍♂️

But let's get back to March...

...even though the month was difficult, it ended with a small gain on the bottom line or even just below the last ATH...

...shows me, conversely, that my consistent strategy and steady fingers have been able to survive such market phases relatively well so far 💪🏻

In terms of the year as a whole, the first quarter has also been relatively successful for the circumstances and when I think about the fact that the overall portfolio is just ~1.5-2% below my chosen September milestone, the whole thing reassures me immensely or rather... is going better than forecast 🫠

In the long term, of course, everything is still on target and so not only are the nights still calm and cozy, but I also know that the dividends will continue despite everything, which brings us back to the next topic...

》Dividends《

This month there were €116.68 net dividends, which means an increase of 164.41% YOY 💪🏻

YoC (TTM) is ~6% and thus slightly below the target range, although the good months are yet to come...

$ASWM (+1,37%) -6,51% (-8,38%)

$MUX (+1,22%) -5,70% (+27,30%)

Furthermore, all contracts for the continuation of my training were signed and sealed this month, which was also pleasing and comes with a small salary increase 😊

That's all from me for now and I wish us all a successful April
