Intro
Hi there, this is Max!
Dividend investing allows you to collect stocks and funds that pay you income for every share you hold. Combo of growth with some dividends to snowball over time is a great strategy.
You can start dividend investing any time. Build a dividend growth portfolio early on to build the dividend snowball. Focus more on dividend income later.
A huge reason why dividends are my go-to strategy. They’re like the tortoise in the race—slow and steady, but they get you to the finish line every time.
Dividend Hike of the Week: American Express (AXP)
Dividend Increase: +17.00%. 3 consecutive years and 15+ years of sustainable payouts without cut with regular increases over years.
American Express (AXP) has been on a roll lately. They’ve just announced a 17% bump in their quarterly dividend, bringing it up to $0.82 per share. That’s a solid move, especially considering their dividend yield is currently at 0.87%, translating to an annual payout of $2.80 per share.
They’ve been consistently increasing dividends for the past 3 years, with a 3-year dividend growth rate of 16.22%, while maintaining a low payout ratio of 19.99%, leaving plenty of room for further increases.
On the earnings front, Amex reported a Q4 net income of $2.17 billion, or $3.04 per share, on revenue of $17.18 billion. Looking ahead, the company is projecting revenue growth of 8%-10% for 2025, with expected earnings per share between $15 and $15.50.
With these strong financials and a proven commitment to rewarding shareholders, Amex looks like a standout choice for investors who want both stability and growth.
