Dividend Income - June 2025

 

June has come and gone in the blink of an eye—and with July nearly behind us, it’s hard to believe how quickly time flies. That said, it’s time to report my portfolio’s dividend income for June!

In June 2025, I received a total of €2,935.55 ($3,393.18) in dividend income. After taxes, my net dividend income amounted to €2,176.31 ($2,515.65).
This represents a notable decline compared to June 2024, when I recorded a net dividend income of €2,664.86 ($2,852.77). On a year-over-year basis, that’s a decrease of €488.55, or 18.3%.

In June 2025, my net dividend income totaled €2,176.31—equivalent to an average of €72.54 per day, or €3.02 per hour, earned passively no matter what I was doing.
Looking at the first half of the year, my net dividend income reached €13,333.54. That brings my year-to-date averages to €73.67 per day and €3.07 per hour.

Compared to June 2024, there have been several significant changes in both my dividend income and portfolio over the past year.
Shifts in dividend payment schedule impacted the timing of income, NN paid its dividend in May this year, whereas it was distributed in June last year.
AVANCE also made a major move, selling all its ships to BWLPG and announcing plans to delist its shares from the Euronext Oslo Børs.
On the portfolio front, I made several strategic additions. I introduced two new dividend-paying ETFs—JEPI and JEPQ—as well as a new company, HSY. At the same time, I exited positions in INTC, WBA, VFC, and CCI.
To further strengthen my passive income stream, I increased my holdings in ES, BEPC, LYB, CNR.TO, and JGPI.
Additionally, several existing investments announced dividend increases during the year—most notably V and AFL—contributing positively to my overall dividend income.

This month’s dividend payments have brought my cumulative net dividend income to a total of €194,449.76.

Dividend Income 2025

With this month’s dividend income, I’ve now collected 53.3% of my 2025 net passive income target of €25,000.00. At this point, it appears unlikely that I’ll fully reach that goal by year-end.
The two main factors behind this shortfall are unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations and the dividend cut by Neste. Both have had a noticeable impact on my overall income stream, making it more challenging to stay on track.

I hold long positions in all of the above-mentioned stocks, except for INTC, WBA, VFC, and CCI, which are no longer part of my portfolio.
