Dividend Income - June 2020

A month has passed again and the first half of the year is over. In June 2020 my portfolio dividend income was as follows:

My Total dividends in June are € 1,909.92 ($ 2,149.30). After tax payments, net dividend income is € 1,418.85 ($ 1,596.68). In year 2019, my net dividend income in June was € 1,035.72 ($ 1,169.84). My portfolio's net dividend income increased by € 383.13 or 37% to compared the same month of last year. The main reason for the increase in dividend income is that due to the covid-19 pandemic, Sampo paid in June this year, and not in May as usual. In addition, there are a few new companies in the portfolio, such as RTX, UNP and V.

This month's dividend increased my cumulative net dividend income € 86,754.57.

After the first half of the year my net dividend income is € 9,355.33 ($ 10,275.65), so I have now collected 52% of my target net passive income for this year, which is €18,000.00. While at the moment it looks like I’m going to achieve my goal, it’s very likely I’ll stay well below it. As I have mentioned earlier some companies of my portfolio have already cut, postponed or cancelled dividend payments. Because of this, it is highly unlikely that I will reach my target for dividend income in 2020. I'm pretty sure that the unpleasant news will be more during the summer and the rest of the year. A few more dividend cuts and I can be happy if I achieve the same net dividend income as last year, which was around 15,500.00. However, I will continue, according to my own plan and make purchases from what I think are good dividend-paying companies. One day, even this crisis will be over and then the return to the “normal” situation starts. When it will happen, time will show.
