Monthly Financial Report (2023/02)

 

The month of February was a regular month for me.  

I received 158 USD in the form of my first dividend from Ecora Resources, a UK-based, non-precious metals-focused royalty company.  Ecora specializes in helping operators mine commodities, supporting a sustainable future. I am super bullish on this company and am happy to receive a first dividend. 

Here are all the dividends I received this month:

The 745 USD Siemens dividend is my largest ever payout. Previously the highest dividend was BHP, paid in Sep 2022, you can check out my monthly stock dividends report from back then.

Last year’s monthly financial report, of Feb 2022, saw total dividends received of 1,338 USD. So this year is 82 USD higher.

Last year Warner Bros was still part of AT&T, therefore, the dividend back then was about twice as large as it is now.

 

February Monthly Financial Report Chart

 

I started dividend stock investing in May 2020. This year will be my first year in which I can compare three full years.

March, May, September, and December are the months in which I receive the highest dividend payments. This graph is taken from Portfolio-Performance.info, a free/open-source app I use to track all my transactions.

For the last nine months or so, the actual value was lower than the invested capital. Just at the beginning of this year, I was back in the green, and now it again dipped below.

Community FAQs

 

What tools to use to create monthly financial reports?

I keep it very simple. I use the free/open-source Portfolio-Performance.info app to track all my transactions. It calculates everything, from the dividend yield to my IRR, ROI, and so on. I use Gurufocus.com and SeekingAlpha.com to analyze the stocks I like to buy. And I use Parqet.com and DivvyDiary.com to keep track of my dividends.

What is the biggest dividend payment you received?

My biggest one so far was this month from Siemens, 745 USD. Prior to that, it was BHP’s 742 USD dividend in September 2022.
