Here is a recap of what happened with my portfolios in April 2021. My intention is to make this type of post a regular monthly post along with a special podcast segment. Here’s the recap.

Telefonica (TEF) to Consider 25% Dividend Cut in Late 2021 to Prioritize Network Investments – This one is new to my portfolio so I will have to keep a close watch on this one.

Altria’s (MO) long term dividend prospects could be in danger should the Biden Administration’s proposals go through to ban menthol and reduce nicotine levels.

Coca-Cola (KO) appears to be in better shape as they reported their business volume returned to pre-pandemic levels. While this is not good for the nation’s health it may be good for my portfolio.

8 of my holdings announced dividend changes. Overall it was good and increased my annual income .005%. Not massive but I’ll take an increase over a decrease any day.

• Chevron (CVX) raised its dividend by 3.9% from $1.29/share to $1.34/share.
• IBM (IBM) raised its dividend by .61% from $1.63/share to $1.64/share.
• 1st Source Corporation (SRCE) raised its dividend 3.4% from $0.29/share to $0.30/share.
• Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) raised its dividend 5% from $1.01/share to $1.06/share.
• Artesian Resources Corporation (ARTNA) raised its dividend 1.5% from $0.2571/share to $0.261/share.
• P&G (PG) raised its dividend 10% from $0.7907/share to $0.8698/share.
• SPHIX-Fidelity High Income Fund lowered its dividend over the last 12 months .46% to $0.03172/share.
• OZK (OZK) raised its dividend .9% from $0.2775/share to $0.28/share.
