First two weeks of April 2026

We forgot to update the blog last weekend. Everyday life kept us busy, and writing simply slipped our minds. So now it’s time to catch up. April and May are usually the busiest months in terms of dividends, and this year is no exception, transactions have been plentiful.

The start of April has been excellent. Right after Easter, the first income came in the form of interest from March. Even though the amounts are small, interest payments are always nice to receive. For March, we collected 12.61 € in interest.

The rest of the income during the past two weeks consisted of:

• 21,20 € from cooperatives
• 17,14 € from Titanium
• 20,00 € from Neste
• 30,02 € from Kemira
• 133,40 € from Kesko
• 5,68 € from Fiera Capital
• 6,74 € from Keurig DrPepper
• 22,98 € from Cibus Nordic
• 72,00 € from Aktia Pankki
• 74,00 € from Fortum
• 7,34 € from Northland Power
• 19,26 € from Exchange Income
• 46,76 € from Realty Income
• 85,37 € from Blue Owl Capital
• 37,50 € from Taaaleri
• 0,02 € from Dynacor
• 3,09 € from Apple Hospitality Reit
• 38,10 € from Main Street Capital. 

The list is long, and the total is impressive. Over this two‑week period, dividends amounted to 653.21 €, which is exceptionally high.

With that, our passive income for April has reached 1,992.43 €, already surpassing every previous April. And there are still almost two full weeks left. Altogether, passive income in 2026 stands at 4,932.50 € so far, putting us on track for our best year ever.

Of course, the rest of the year can still change the trajectory. Last year we were also ahead in the early months, but fell behind the record pace in April. This time, at least, we’ve improved the situation by one month.

 

We haven’t reinvested everything, but most of the dividends have been put back to work. During this two‑week period, we made the following purchases:

• 8,5655 shares of Dynex Capital @13,07571 USD
• 0,6775 shares of Bank of Montreal @205,96659 CAD
• 7,6562 shares of Ares Capital @18,98461 USD
• 19,27 shares of Acomo @27,48054 €
• 3 units of Pohjanmaan Arvo Sijoitusosuuskunta @90,51667 €
• 14 shares of Huhtamäki @29,21571 €
• 0,0924 units of OP-Eurooppa Index A @246,42857 €

We estimate that these purchases will increase our 2026 income by a little more than 58 € after taxes.
