June 2026 Dividend Growth Investor Newsletter

Welcome to the Dividend Growth Investor Newsletter for June 2026. In this newsletter I will share the companies I invested in this month.

These investments are the building blocks that tie together with the overall goal of reaching $1,000 in monthly dividend income. Each investment increases forward annual dividend income. Every dividend increase also increases forward annual dividend income. The same goes for each dividend that gets reinvested as well. The beauty of a dividend growth investment strategy is that it lets us see our progress in real time, and show us how our actions and inputs directly correlate with the end result. It shows us how far along we are on the journey as well.

I find it helpful to invest with the end goal in mind. The end goal being a certain amount of target dividend income. I focus on dividend income because it is more predictable, reliable and easier to forecast and rely on than share prices. This is what makes living off dividends a superior strategy to live off a portfolio in retirement than traditional asset depletion strategies, which are reliant on a bull market. In order to get the full benefit of a dividend growth investing strategy however, and living off dividends in retirement, one has to build that portfolio on solid ground.
You need to play strong defense and strong offense.

I invested $1,095.68 in the following seven companies last month. This exercise added $21.81 to forward annual dividend income.
