Dividend Talk

Niklas from Heavy Moat Investments is back. Last time he barely cared about dividends. Now 80% of his portfolio pays one. We talk about how becoming a dad changed the way he looks at risk, why he raised his hurdle rate to 15-20%, why buybacks often disappoint, and how Edenred became his biggest position after trading at around 5x cash flow.Also this week: Novo Nordisk's messy capital markets day, dividend hikes from T-Mobile US and GE Healthcare, and your questions on consumer staples, insurers and AI, Engie and Enel, BIPC, 5% Treasuries and Niklas's top pick, InnoScripta.Get free samples of our premium newsletter: https://dividendtalk.eu/download-your-free-samples/

The Fed has raised rates for the first time since 2023. So what does that mean for REITs like Realty Income, Agree Realty and VICI? We explain why real estate stocks are so sensitive to interest rates, compare them with a 5% US Treasury, and share the prices where we'd start buying again.Also this week: Warren Buffett's full retirement, Nike losing Mbappé to On, and dividend raises from Texas Instruments, McDonald's (now a Dividend King), Microsoft, Philip Morris and JPMorgan.Your questions: pre-market trading, how we use AI for stock research, high yield vs dividend growth, Fielmann, TFF Group and why Edgi still holds Evolution AB.Get free samples of our premium newsletter: https://dividendtalk.eu/download-your-free-samples/

This week on Dividend Talk, we get into the art of the turnaround investment .What worked, what didn't, and what we've learned the hard way. We share real stories from Walgreens, Intel, and Texas Instruments, then turn to Nike, Vici Properties, and ASR to figure out which stocks are genuine turnarounds and which are just mispriced quality names. Plus: trimming an ExxonMobil position, a fresh look at HP, and our predictions for the next Microsoft dividend hike.We also answer a big batch of listener questions covering FIRE, REITs, ETFs, and how dividend culture differs between Europe and the US.🔗 Show notes: https://dividendtalkpodcast.com/💎 Premium newsletter: https://dividendtalk.eu/how-it-works/💬 Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/c9uV8Zm9j

We're back after our first-ever summer break! This week: should cyclical stocks have a place in a dividend growth portfolio built for financial independence? We use BHP, Rio Tinto, and ExxonMobil as real examples of the trade-offs.
Also covered: a Guinness heist making headlines, the Netherlands moving its gold reserves home, fresh dividend hikes from Altria, NN Group, and Wolters Kluwer, plus listener questions on Nike, LVMH, Swiss stocks, Clorox, and Philips.
