EasyResearch Weekly Dividends Update

New week, new opportunity to build a dividend income portfolio.

Last Friday, U.S. shares closed in the red after jobs data indicated that another rate hike could be on the table. The U.S. economy will also release inflation data, followed by the Fed announcing the rate changes.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. and Automatic Data Processing Inc. are among the companies that closed in green territory (included in our latest dividend update) amid concerns about interest rates and inflation in the U.S. economy.

• Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.'s quarterly dividend payout is 11% higher than last year's, and 19 analysts, according to Barchart, rate the stock a strong buy.
• Automatic Data Processing Inc.'s earnings and revenue for the full year are expected to increase by 14% and 8%, respectively, according to Zacks Consensus Estimates, and the stock has been increasing its dividend every four quarters.

When it comes to Artificial Intelligence, besides NVIDIA getting ready to pay its first dividend, which was increased by 150% before the recent 10-for-1 stock split, Vertiv Holdings, a critical infrastructure leader, is expected to grow in value due to its cooling systems for high-performance computing. The company will be paying its second quarterly dividend after initially starting with annual payouts in late 2020 (shares are up nearly 400% since then). This year’s total payout, including the upcoming quarterly payout, is 400% higher than the previous annual payout(s) before 2023.

It’s also worth noting that NVIDIA is one of EasyEquities' thriving stocks, which qualifies for brokerage discounts. Other names popular among the EasyCommunity are Alibaba Group Holdings Limited, Meta Platforms Inc and Coca-Cola  

Both (Alibaba Group Holdings Limited and Meta Platforms Inc.) will pay their second quarterly dividend, although Alibaba will top its second quarterly dividend with a special dividend.

In the intricate world of finance, money is the lifeblood that fuels economies, shapes markets, and drives innovation. Yet, how much do we truly understand the journey of money from its inception to its role in our daily lives?

The year 2024 is poised to become a landmark moment in history, with over 2 billion people worldwide preparing to cast their votes in elections spanning countries like the US, India, the European Union, Mexico, and South Africa, as highlighted by the World Economic Forum.

As countries return to work to ensure food security while working on the energy transition: there are potential opportunities in the electric vehicle (EV), energy supply, and fertilizer sectors.
