Alright partners, there’s quite a bit to talk about this week.
One of the more interesting developments this week came from FedEx.
💡 FDX — FedEx Spin-Off Update
If you own shares of FedEx, make sure to check your brokerage account. The company recently completed the spin-off of its freight business, creating a new independent company that now trades under the ticker FDXF.
I own 54 shares of FDX in my portfolio. Under the terms of the transaction, shareholders received 1 share of FDXF for every 2 shares of FDX owned. As a result, I received 27 shares of FDXF.
If your FDX position wasn’t evenly divisible by two, any fractional shares were generally paid out in cash and credited directly to your account.
In my case, FDXF doesn’t fit particularly well with the long-term strategy I’m building here. The business itself may do perfectly fine, but every position in the portfolio has a specific role, and I prefer to keep the portfolio focused on companies that closely align with my dividend growth objectives.
Because of that, I sold the FDXF shares and redeployed the proceeds into existing positions that I currently have the highest conviction in.
The largest addition was Domino’s Pizza, which has quickly moved near the top of my watchlist over the past few months. I continue to like the combination of brand strength, recurring demand, international growth opportunities, and long-term dividend growth potential.
The second purchase this week was Mueller Industries. I continue to view MLI as one of the more attractive industrial dividend growth companies available today. If valuation remains reasonable, I may continue adding shares over the next week or two before shifting my focus elsewhere.
As always, the watchlist remains active.
Right now, I’m spending the most time looking at Domino’s Pizza, Home Depot, Zoetis, Novo Nordisk, OZK Bank, Tractor Supply, Automatic Data Processing, Pool Corp, and Snap-on.
There are plenty of interesting opportunities available today, which is exactly why patience matters. I don’t feel any pressure to rush. The goal isn’t to buy more stocks. The goal is to buy the right businesses at the right prices and let time do the heavy lifting.
The system stays the same. Capital stays disciplined. We keep building. Steady steps. Clear roles. Long horizon. That’s the rhythm.
The MaxDividends Income System — combined with selecting high-quality dividend companies using our 5-step secret formula, and supported by the MaxDividends Platform — allows me to build my own path toward financial freedom.
Every week I place another brick into the foundation of that future freedom. And today those bricks are already hard to miss. The results are becoming visible. They are becoming tangible.
The most remarkable thing about this seemingly simple formula for success is that it’s repeatable. I invest in businesses I genuinely like. I choose companies I trust. And my passive dividend income keeps growing.
Live off dividends on your terms! 💪💰
This Week’s Best Reads 💡
Dividend Deep Dives & Investing Gold
This week gave investors a little bit of everything: fresh moves in stocks tied to obesity data, plenty of talk around rates and inflation, and the usual market back-and-forth that keeps traders busy and long-term investors unfazed.
The bigger picture stayed the same though — money still rewards patience, discipline still beats drama, and the long game still matters most.
So while the headlines kept buzzing, we’re settling in with the good stuff: Buffett’s reminder that most real wealth is built slowly, an electronics retailer with 22 years of dividend hikes and a 5.08% yield, Eli Lilly’s obesity-drug momentum and why the incretin story may have legs, and a regulated Midwestern utility that just found a real growth engine while keeping its dividend streak alive.
Relax, pour your coffee, and enjoy the weekend unwind. ☕️
