EasyResearch Weekly Dividends Update

Written by Cay-Low Mbedzi | Apr 22, 2025 10:46:57 AM

Netflix announced its quarterly results, with shares rising 4.5% to $1,017 in after-hours trading after the streaming giant exceeded first-quarter expectations for both revenue and operating margin.

  • The company reported a net income of $2.89 billion, up from $2.33 billion a year earlier. Earnings per share came in at $6.61, beating analysts’ forecast of $5.67.

It’s worth noting that Netflix does not intend to pay dividends, instead prioritizing profitable growth by reinvesting in the business.

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), on the other hand, dipped slightly last Tuesday despite strong earnings and an upgraded outlook, as tariff concerns weighed on investor sentiment. However, the stock ended the week higher.

  • The company reported first-quarter 2025 sales of $21.9 billion, up 2.4% year-over-year, with 4.2% operational and 3.3% adjusted growth. EPS rose to $4.54.
  • Known for consistently exceeding earnings expectations, JNJ holds a high earnings quality ranking and announced an increase to its cash dividend - marking the 63rd consecutive year of dividend hikes.

Heineken NV, one of the world’s largest brewers, will be increasing its dividend amid the ongoing trade war. The company recently reaffirmed its full-year outlook, remaining unchanged despite volatile consumer behaviour and geopolitical uncertainty.

Meanwhile, as automakers position themselves for the U.S. market, Ferrari announced it will not be shifting production to the United States.

  • The luxury carmaker also revealed a 22% increase in its cash dividend to shareholders.
  • The last day to buy shares that qualify for the upcoming dividend falls this week.

Stellantis - owner of brands like Jeep, Fiat, and Peugeot - is also set to pay a cash dividend, with the last day to trade (LDT) falling this week.

Tesla, the electric vehicle pioneer, is scheduled to announce its earnings this week - an event expected to set the tone for the broader EV market.

Furthermore, Boeing, Alphabet, Intel, PepsiCo, Vertiv, Check Point Software Technologies, and Chipotle are also set to report earnings this week.

Here's the full list for this week.
