We also discuss some of our favorite high-yield stocks and the long-term viability of such an approach.

In Episode 211 of the Dividend Talk podcast, we highlight four European dividend stocks known for their stability and reliable returns, but they are not too often talked about. If you're looking for dependable investments with solid dividends, this episode is might be for you.
We kick off with the news of the week in which we discuss OnlyFans because it has paid $630 million in dividends to its owner, Leonid Radvinsky, since the start of last year.
After that, we address concerns about estate taxes for Europeans holding US stocks, particularly with brokers like Interactive Brokers (IBRK).
Recent dividend hikes are also on our radar. VICI Properties has increased its dividend by 4% to $0.4325 per share, while Brady Corporation has raised its dividend by 2.1% to $0.24 per share. Broadcom announced a 1% hike in its dividend, and Verizon achieved its 18th consecutive dividend increase with a 1.9% rise, resulting in a 6.2% yield.
Our main focus is on four European stocks with safe dividends. Mensch und Maschine (MUM.DE) stands out for its strong growth and high safety rating. Carlsberg (CARL-B.CO) is recognized for its clear dividend policy and reliable payouts. Hornbach (HBH.DE) continues to offer consistent dividends, and Evolution AB (EVO.ST) is noted for its stable dividends and strong market presence.

Welcome to Dividend Talk Episode 209, where we dive into the world of dividend investing to help you build a stable financial future. This episode, titled "Dividend Investing for Retirement: Building Your Own Pension," focuses on how dividend investing can be a cornerstone of your retirement strategy, offering both stability and growth during your golden years.
We begin with the News of the Week, where the recent shake-up at Nestlé takes center stage. The sudden departure of the CEO has raised eyebrows, with limited information provided by the company. The abruptness of the move suggests it may not have been entirely voluntary. We discuss whether this could be tied to the competitive pressures Nestlé faces, particularly in contrast to Unilever’s recent successes. Additionally, we explore Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole, where he highlighted significant progress on inflation. Inflation is nearing the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, and while the labor market has cooled, the economy remains resilient. Powell’s cautious tone suggests potential policy adjustments on the horizon as the Fed seeks to balance inflation control with employment support.
The episode continues with a review of Recent Dividend Hikes, which brought good news for dividend investors. ASR Nederland raised its interim 2024 dividend by 7.4%, pushing its forward yield to a substantial 6.55%. Altria increased its quarterly dividend by 4.1%, offering shareholders $1.02 per share, while Cboe Global Markets impressed with a 14.5% increase in its quarterly dividend, now at $0.63 per share.
The Main Topic for this episode is "Dividend Investing for Retirement: Building Your Own Pension." We explore how dividend investing can serve as an effective retirement strategy. Traditional pensions offer tax benefits, but they vary significantly across Europe. For instance, in Ireland, pension fees can be high, and access to certain investment vehicles is limited. For those looking to retire early, building a personal dividend portfolio offers greater control and flexibility. In Poland, accounts like IKE and IKZE provide tax advantages, making them attractive for retirement savings. However, there’s growing concern about whether future retirees will enjoy the same benefits as current retirees, given that pension funds are struggling to keep pace with inflation and increasing life expectancy.
Dividend investing offers several key advantages for retirement. Dividends are often taxed more favorably than regular income, and they have the potential to grow faster than inflation, helping to preserve purchasing power. Additionally, dividends can provide a steady income stream, offering a cushion during economic downturns. We also discuss the importance of not relying solely on dividends in retirement. We consider the roles that bonds, life insurance, and real estate might play in a diversified retirement plan. Our hosts share their strategies, emphasizing the importance of sector and geographic diversification to ensure your portfolio can withstand different market conditions.
As always, we wrap up the episode with Listener Questions. This week’s questions are particularly insightful. One listener, Wolf of Harcourt Street, asks about the performance of his son’s portfolio, which had previously been outperforming his own. It’s a great example of how starting early in investing can lead to significant gains. Tim Ainley wonders how to weigh the opportunity cost of selling a stock against the benefits of compounding. Mike Nash, a beginner investor, asks for advice on how to choose which shares to monitor, a crucial step for anyone starting out. Hns de Jong shares his experience with preferred stocks like $GOODO, which offer a 7% yield, and asks if we hold any preferred stocks ourselves. Jack Jones discusses how buying Hershey stock influenced his shopping habits and asks if we’ve experienced similar shifts in brand loyalty after investing.
We also touch on a few ticker-related questions. We look into Diploma plc, a British company with a solid dividend history, and Avnet, which some see as a strong mix of tech growth and dividends. We even explore the potential of luxury yacht stocks, like Italian Sea Group and San Lorenzo—an interesting niche within the luxury sector.
Dividend Talk Episode 209 is packed with insights for both seasoned investors and those just starting out. Whether you’re building your own pension, considering the impact of inflation, or simply looking for the next great dividend stock, this episode has something for everyone.
