This week’s data releases and earnings reports can influence dividend outlooks in several ways:
- U.S. inflation data (CPI and PPI): May impact Fed rate decisions, influencing company costs and dividend capacity.
 
- Fed Chair Powell’s speech: The rate outlook can affect investor demand for dividend and income stocks.
 
- Retail sales: Strong spending supports earnings and the potential for stable or rising dividends.
 
Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, will also be announcing its earnings this week, which could provide deeper insight into the health of American consumer spending.
Meanwhile, attention will also turn to China, where earnings from major players like Alibaba, JD.com, and Tencent are expected. These results may offer a glimpse into Chinese consumer demand and the broader tech and retail landscape.
- Naspers, because of its holding in Tencent through Prosus, often mirrors the share price movements of Tencent. 
 
Several multinational companies from different industries are set to pay dividends, with upcoming last dates to trade - an opportunity investors could consider as part of a diversification strategy amid shifting global economic signals and evolving monetary policy expectations.
These include:
- Microsoft Corporation, BP PLC, ArcelorMittal SA, Shell PLC, GSK Plc, Starbucks Corporation, Unilever PLC, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, Adidas AG,and  Volkswagen AG.
