Technology Consulting Stock Accenture Is My Next Dividend Pick

I order to fulfill my own goal of a $3,000 dividend income by the end of the year, I purchased 20 shares of the information technology stock and IT consulting company Accenture.

Accenture pays a 2.56 percent dividend and is valuated with a current P/E of 14.93. Earnings are expected to grow by 12 percent yearly for the next five years. I think that are good ratios and the pick is a wise alternative to my current IBM stake.

Accenture also have no debt but compared to IBM, the company is less diversified but also globally positioned. More salt for the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio.

Earnings and Dividends of Accenture

The trade resulted in investing costs of $1,459.20 and will generate around $35 annual dividend income.

--------------------------------------
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 $2,562. With around $26,000 in deposited cash, it’s still possible to reach the $3,000 by the end of this year. The second notice is that I need to speed-up my purchase amounts.

Portfolio Performance (Click to enlarge)

The portfolio holdings are up 7.15 percent since the date of funding and purchase. Due to the high cash values in the portfolio (more than half of the capital was not invested in average), the overall performance is only 6.69 percent. Compared to the other major indices it is a clear underperformance but in line with my strategy to purchase slowly stocks. In times of down-going markets, the strategy would create better results.

The major aim is not to make quick money on the market with hot stocks like Tesla and Facebook. The strategy is to build a passive income portfolio which should double the dividend output each ten years from alone.
