Microsoft
announced recently to raise their future dividends by 22 percent and buy back
$40 billion in own shares. This should drive trading volume into the stock. The expected dividend yield is 3.31 percent.
I believe
that the microsoft stock has still potential to grow dividends in the future. Despite the weakness with the implementation of new technologies, Microsoft is still a growth stock. Sales more than doubled within the past decade and earnings increased by a factor of 2.5x. That's pretty good for the company with $77 billion cash and $12.6 billion long-term debt.
However, I put 40 shares at $33.88 into the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio. The total purchase amount resulted in $1,360 which should bring additional $45 in yearly dividends.

--------------------------------------
For readers
who are new to the matter and my dividend growth philosophy: I funded a virtual
portfolio with 100k on October 04, 2012 with the aim to build a passive income
stream that doubles each five to ten years. I plan to purchase each week one
stock holding until the money is fully invested. The total number of
constituents is expected at 50 – 70 companies and the dividend income should be
at least at $3,000 per year.
--------------------------------------
Over the
full year, the expected dividend income amounts to $2,485. With around $27,400
in deposited cash, it’s still possible to reach the $3,000 by the end of this
year.
 |
| Portfolio Performance (Click to enlarge) |
The full
portfolio holdings are up 6.23 percent in average. Due to the high cash amount
and slow buying process in a gaining market, the complete portfolio performance
is only 5.85 percent.
Here is the income perspective of the portfolio
