5 September Dividend Raises- Yield Up To 4.9%
September was a splendid month for my 85-stock portfolio with five dividend raises, enhancing the joy for dividend-loving investing. Duke Energy, MGE Energy, Simon Property Group, Union Pacific, and Broadcom all saw dividend increases, though some raises were modest and valuations varied. Despite some stocks being overvalued, the portfolio's 6.4% forward high-yield and 16.47% YTD performance affirm the strategy of quality dividend growth.
