This week we received dividends on three different days. Most of the income came in euros and Australian dollars, and on Friday we received the usual mid‑month payments in US and Canadian dollars. Here is the full breakdown:
- 34,20 € from Huhtamäki
- 133,45 € from Signify
- 75,76 € from Washington H Soul Pattinson
- 7,42 € from Northland Power
- 26,53 € from Realty Income
- 53,48 € from Omega Healthcare Investors
- 3,06 € from Apple Hospitality Reit
- 37,73 € from Main Street Capital
This week’s dividend income totaled 371,63 €, which is a solid amount. Altogether we have accumulated 1237,09 € so far in May, and there are still one or two larger dividends on the way, along with several smaller ones in the tens‑of‑euros range. With these included, we expect May to become our third‑best month ever, with total passive income slightly above 2000 euros.
Year to date we have collected 6434 € in passive income. This is roughly the same amount we had reached by the end of July last year, so our pace is excellent. In fact, we have never earned this much passive income this early in the year. The chart below illustrates this clearly, as the 2026 cumulative line is well ahead of previous years at the same point in time.
Earlier weeks were fairly quiet in terms of new purchases. This week the pace picked up a little, even though we did not start any kind of shopping spree. These are the transactions we made:
- 1 unit of Arvo Sijoitusosuuskunta @80,40 €
- 25 shares of A&W Food Services of Canada @35,5616 CAD
- 9,94 shares of Emera @71,83099 CAD
- 19 shares of EuroCommercial Properties @27,44636 €
- 141 Shares of IPH Limited @3,5656 AUD
- 2,5425 shares of Verizon @47,3353 USD
- 0,2055 shares of Bank of Montreal @210,17 CAD
- 1,6988 shares of Dynex Capital @13,0795 USD
- 26 shares of Kesko A @20,37692 €
This week’s purchases also added a nice layer of diversification. The buys were spread across several sectors and regions, and the additions outside North America helped balance the portfolio’s geographical weight. IPH Limited stood out as the most unusual new holding, while Arvo Sijoitusosuuskunta and Kesko A brought a bit of domestic flavor. Altogether the purchases were small but meaningful steps that strengthened the portfolio and increased our 2026 dividend income by roughly 60 euros.
