About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss how to identify and remove underperforming stocks from a dividend portfolio while also covering recent market developments and listener questions.

Portfolio spring cleaning time. In Episode 287, we break down exactly how to identify and remove deadwood from your dividend portfolio, the companies quietly dragging you down while you're not looking. We also react to $100 oil, debate whether Shell should stop its buyback programme at the current yields, run through the latest dividend hikes (Hannover Re +39%, Swiss Life, General Dynamics, Realty Income & more), and answer listener questions on LVMH, Legal & General results, Oracle, T. Rowe Price, and non-US monthly dividend payers. 📌 Topics this week: Join us : [Facebook] - https://www.facebook.com/groups/dividendtalk [Twitter] - @DividendTalk_ , @European_DG [Discord]- https://discord.gg/nJyt9KWAB5 [Premium Services] - https://dividendtalk.eu/download-your-free-samples/ EDGI Annual Report - 2025 Dividend Portfolio Review: The Good, The Bad and The Dollar
