October 2025 Dividend Income Report

 

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

In October 2025, I received a total of €2,341.37 ($2,722.80) in dividend income. After taxes, my net dividend income amounted to €1,735.11 ($2,017.77).

This represents a decline compared to October 2024, when my net dividend income totaled €2,152.97 ($2,302.90). On a year-over-year basis, that’s a decrease of €417.86, or 19.4%.

Breaking it down, my October net dividends equal:

• €55.97 per day
• €2.33 per hour

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

Looking at the bigger picture, for the tenth months of 2025, my net dividend income reached €20,104.66. On average, that’s:

• €66.13 per day
• €2.76 per hour

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

• New positions: I added two new dividend-focused ETFs—JEPI and JEPQ—as well as a new individual holding in CPX.TO.
• Position growth: I increased my stakes in OZK, CNQ.TO, and JGPI, further strengthening my passive income stream.
• Exits: I fully exited my positions in BAX, MPW, and BCE.TO.
• Spin-off: South Bow Corporation (SOBO.TO) was added to my portfolio following its spin-off from TC Energy (TRP.TO).
• Dividend increases: Several of my existing holdings—most notably PM—announced solid dividend hikes compared to a year ago.

This month’s dividend payments have brought my cumulative net dividend income to a total of €201,220.89.

Dividend Income 2025

With October's dividends, I have now collected 80.4% 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 BAX, MPW, and BCE.TO, which are no longer part of my portfolio..
