September 2025 Dividend Income Report

 

October is already more than halfway through, and with winter slowly approaching, it’s time for one of my favorite updates — a look back at the dividend income my portfolio generated in September.

In September 2025, I received a total of €2,939.26 ($3,445.00) in dividend income. After taxes, my net dividend income amounted to €2,178.51 ($2,553.34).

This represents a decline compared to September 2024, when my net dividend income totaled €2,372.79 ($2,608.26). On a year-over-year basis, that’s a decrease of €194.28, or 8.2%.

Breaking it down, my September net dividends equal:

• €72.62 per day
• €3.03 per hour

That’s money earned passively, regardless of what I was doing.

Looking at the bigger picture, over the first three quarters of 2025, my net dividend income reached €18,369.56. On average, that’s:

• €67.23 per day
• €2.80 per hour

Compared to last year, there have been several changes in both my dividend income and portfolio structure:

• AVANCE made a major move, selling all its ships to BWLPG.
• New positions: I added two new dividend-paying ETFs—JEPI and JEPQ—along with a new individual position in HSY.
• Position growth: I increased my holdings in WTRG, ES, BEPC, LYB, CNR.TO and JGPI to further strengthen my passive income stream.
• Exits: I closed out my holdings in INTC, VFC, and CCI.
• Dividend increases: Several of my existing holdings, including NEE, V, and AFL, delivered solid dividend increases compared to a year ago.

This month’s dividend payments have brought my cumulative net dividend income to a total of €199,485.78.

Dividend Income 2025

With September's dividends, I have now collected 73.5% of my passive income target for 2025, which is €25,000. At this point, it seems unlikely that I will reach my goal by the end of the year; at the moment, it looks like I will fall short by about €1,000.

Two main factors are behind this shortfall:

• Unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations, which reduced the euro value of foreign dividends.
• The dividend cut by Neste Corporation, which had a significant impact on my overall income stream.

Both challenges have weighed on my results and made it more difficult to stay on track toward my annual goal.

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