In the month of Oct, dividend/interest received is about SGD $6.6K and year to date dividend/interest income hit 66K. With 2 more months to go, I am projecting to receive more than 70k dividend/interest income for the full year. My YTD portfolio return including dividend received is around 9.41%.
As my cash holding increase substantially due to dividend received, I will be adding a few more counter or increase my stake in current portfolio in the coming month as long as yield on cost is attractive.
I added more BTI which yield >8% . While there is a negative sentiment against tobacco stock due to regulatory pressure, BTI has proven that it has been able to increase revenue and dividend annually. Its FCF yield is as high as 11% and with a 65% dividend payout, I think it is much safer to buy than reits. I also initiated a new HKSE stock CITIC which has around 7% yield after checking its 5 years financial results that have been positive. Its stock price is in a depressing mode at almost 5 years low due to poor market condition with HKSE/China stocks. Based on its 2021 half year result, I believe its dividend yield will be increasing again in 2022.
