EasyResearch Weekly Dividends Update

We've completed the first half of 2024 and are now gearing up for Durban July 🏇, Dezemba 🍾, and Januworry 😵💰.

Investing in companies that pay dividends and are eligible to be used as collateral could be advantageous during these months (December and January). Such investments allow investors to access capital without selling their shares and provide passive income through cash dividends!  This week's update includes JSE-listed shares that can be used as collateral for a loan on EasyEquities.

• Mr Price Group Limited is paying a final cash dividend for its financial year, which is 17% higher than last year's payout in the same period.

“By focusing on delivering value to our customers, the group has strengthened its market position, as evidenced by gaining market share for 7 consecutive months at better margins.” - Mr Price Group Limited.

• Tiger Brands Limited will pay an interim dividend that's 9% higher than the previous comparative period's payout.

“The next reporting cycle will mark the first 6-month period under new leadership with the first green shoots of our turnaround efforts expected to emerge.” - Tiger Brands Limited.

• Stor-Age Property REIT Limited: Paying a lower dividend, slightly lower than last year’s final payout.
