https://dividendabundance.com/A real, public dividend portfolio we document in the open: $100 a week into stocks that pass the five-box test.en-us https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/mkc-week-20.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/mkc-week-20.htmlMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek twenty crosses $2,000 deposited, shows the portfolio in the green for the first time, and buys more McCormick on a scorecard that reads 100 and a judgment that says 92. The gap between those two numbers, and the Unilever deal behind the discount, is the whole post. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/hpq-week-19.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/hpq-week-19.htmlMon, 19 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek nineteen buys the first technology stock this portfolio has ever owned, a PC and printer maker with a 4% dividend, a 92 on the scorecard, and a split verdict from the analysts. Here is the case, the case against, and why we bought it anyway. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/o-week-18.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/o-week-18.htmlMon, 12 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek eighteen re-scores all fifteen holdings on today's prices to answer one question, which of them is worth buying again, and lands on the monthly-dividend landlord at a 6% yield. It also explains why a stock showing a perfect 100 on our scorecard did not get the money. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/zts-week-17.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/zts-week-17.htmlMon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek seventeen buys the world's largest animal-health company at a new 52-week low, scores it an 88, and explains why we did not double down on Nike instead. It also corrects a Nike number we published in August. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/low-week-16.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/low-week-16.htmlTue, 29 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek sixteen buys more of a stock we already own. Lowe's is down about 11% since our July purchase, and on today's numbers the same 54-year Dividend King scores higher than it did then. Here is the arithmetic, plus a correction to something we said in July. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/ozk-week-15.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/ozk-week-15.htmlTue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek fifteen brings the first perfect 100 the five-box test has ever produced, a 29-year dividend record from an Arkansas bank, and the same week a big brokerage rated the stock a D. Both things are true. Here is how. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/eog-week-14.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/eog-week-14.htmlMon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek fourteen buys our first energy stock, and the lowest score we have ever paid for. The AI research told us the dividend had been raised 27 years running. The actual records said eight. Here is why we bought it anyway. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/ppg-week-13.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/ppg-week-13.htmlTue, 08 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek thirteen buys a company that has paid its shareholders every year since 1899, and earns the cleanest score we have ever handed out. It's also the week our test gave two stocks a 92 and we bought the one with the smaller dividend. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/cmcsa-week-12.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/cmcsa-week-12.htmlMon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek twelve ties our highest score ever, opens a sector we've never owned, and is the first buy in this portfolio's history made partly with money the portfolio earned itself. Also the week we passed on a 5% yield, and corrected our own published numbers. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/nee-week-11.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/nee-week-11.htmlMon, 24 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek eleven is the first time we've bought something twice. We screened five other companies and none of them beat a stock we already owned, whose score has gone up eight points since we bought it in July. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/mkc-week-10.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/mkc-week-10.htmlMon, 17 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek ten buys the company that owns your spice rack, at the cheapest price it's been in years, because it just agreed to swallow a food business twice its size. Our highest score yet, and our most honest asterisk yet. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/nke-week-9.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/nke-week-9.htmlMon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek nine buys a 25-year Dividend Aristocrat and one of the most valuable brands on earth, on sale at less than half of what one major research firm thinks it's worth, because the market has given up on its turnaround. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/trow-week-8.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/trow-week-8.htmlMon, 03 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek eight adds our first Financials name and our highest yield yet, a 38-year Dividend Aristocrat with zero debt, bought for safe income even though its business is fighting a real headwind. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/low-week-7.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/low-week-7.htmlMon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek seven adds a 54-year Dividend King bought while it was genuinely on sale, yielding about a third more than its own five-year norm because the market has gotten bored of home improvement. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/adp-week-6.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/adp-week-6.htmlMon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek six buys a 51-year Dividend King with the cleanest numbers we've scored yet, on sale because the market fears a cooling jobs report. And this is the first week our own dividends started buying more shares. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/pep-week-5.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/pep-week-5.htmlMon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek five buys a 54-year Dividend King the market has left on sale. It also comes with the most honest score story we've had yet, because the number we prepped a month ago is not the number we recorded on buy day. Here's why it went up. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/nee-week-4.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/nee-week-4.htmlMon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek four adds a utility, but not a sleepy one. NextEra Energy pairs the steady, regulated income of America's largest electric utility with the fastest dividend growth in the portfolio. Here's how it passes the five-box test. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/o-week-3.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/o-week-3.htmlMon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek three buys a landlord that has paid a dividend every single month for 671 months and raised it for 31 years. Why Realty Income passes the five-box test, scored on the right metric for a REIT. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/mdt-week-2.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/mdt-week-2.htmlMon, 22 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTWeek two's $100 goes to a 48-year dividend raiser the market has left for dead. Why Medtronic passes the five-box test, and the one box where we're honest about its weakness. https://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/tsco-week-1.htmlhttps://dividendabundance.com/stock-of-the-week/tsco-week-1.htmlSat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTEvery week we invest $100 in a dividend stock that passes the five-box test, in a real account, and show exactly what it adds to a growing income stream. Week one is Tractor Supply.
