At the beginning of each month, I produce a recap of the dividend yield and ex dividend dates of the TSX 60. In addition to this recap, I decided to briefly cover the result of my Best 2013 Dividend Stock Book. This book includes 30 stock analyses (20 US and 10 CDN) for only $2.99. So far, my results are:

20 US Dividend Stocks: +19.67% (beating the index by 6.26%)

10 CDN Dividend Stocks: +6.34% (beating the index by 1.81%)

Best 2013 Dividend Stocks Results

 

At the beginning of the year, I produced a list of Best dividend stocks for 2013 (click on the link to get my metrics and see the list). Out of this exhaustive list, I pulled out 30 stocks to be my “favorite” picks among these lists. They are not stock recommendations and I strongly suggest you do your own analysis and read the financial statements. This book is simply a compilation of my own stock analysis for 30 stocks that are being held in my portfolio or are on my watch list.

 

I’ve broken down the results per market:

 

Best 2013 US Dividend Stocks Results

 

Company	Ticker	YTD	Current Div Yield
Abbott Laboratories	ABT	11.97%	1.53%
Autoliv Inc	ALV	16.42%	2.55%
CA Inc	CA	24.25%	3.66%
Campbell Soup Co	CPB	22.69%	2.71%
Chesapeake Utilities Corp	CPK	16.62%	2.91%
Chevron Corp	CVX	13.50%	3.26%
Darden Restaurants Inc	DRI	14.92%	3.86%
General Mills Inc	GIS	16.48%	3.23%
Heinz	HNZ	25.44%	2.85%
Genuine Parts Co	GPC	22.26%	2.77%
Intel Corp	INTC	17.75%	3.71%
Johnson & Johnson	JNJ	20.08%	3.14%
Kellogg Co	K	11.09%	2.84%
Kimberly-Clark Corp	KMB	14.68%	3.35%
Mattel Inc	MAT	22.19%	3.22%
McDonald\'s Corp	MCD	9.48%	3.19%
Microsoft Corp	MSFT	30.58%	2.64%
Procter & Gamble Co/The	PG	13.07%	3.13%
Safeway Inc	SWY	27.19%	3.48%
Seagate Technology PLC	STX	41.61%	3.53%
Walgreen Co	WAG	29.05%	2.30%
Western Union Co/The	WU	20.35%	3.05%
Wisconsin Energy Corp	WEC	10.75%	3.33%
Average		19.67%	3.05%
VIG		13.41%	2.11%
Added Value		6.26%	0.94%

 

The average portfolio is showing an amazing return of 19.67% that is 6.26% over my benchmark (VIG with 13.41%). Oh! Did I mention that my portfolio also produced 1% more in dividend yield than VIG? ;-).

 

After such high returns over the first five months of the year, you may ask if there is still room in this list to make more money by the end of the year. I recently bought shares of McDonald’s (MCD) and the stock is only up by 9.48% which is below the benchmark. Since MCD has been trailing this so far this year, I think this is one of the stocks that could benefit from the present stock squeeze situation. Another interesting stock to consider from this list is Kellogg. While most food stocks jumped this year, Kellogg is another company trailing with an YTD performance of +11.09%. I’m pretty sure it can continue to grow in the upcoming months. As an example, Western Union (WU) has jumped by 10% last month after announcing strong revenue guidance for 2014.

Best 2013 Canadian Dividend Stocks Results

 

Company	Ticker	YTD	Current Div Yield
Andrew Peller Ltd	ADW/A	18.32%	3.01%
Royal Bank of Canada	RY	3.39%	4.07%
National Bank of Canada	NA	-1.15%	4.57%
Calian Technologies Ltd	CTY	-3.87%	5.56%
Emera Inc	EMA	1.61%	3.96%
Power Corporation	POW	15.05%	3.96%
Evertz Technologies Ltd	ET	-3.77%	4.20%
Black Diamond Group Ltd	BDI	18.75%	3.53%
TELUS Corp	T	10.93%	3.77%
Rogers Communications Inc	RCI/B	4.09%	3.70%
Average		6.34%	4.03%
XDV		4.53%	4.19%
Added Value		1.81%	-0.16%

I continue to offer strong performances on both the US and Canadian stock markets. The Canadian stock list is beating its benchmark by 1.81% (6.34% vs 4.53% for XDV). BTI is now showing a 18.75% YTD return and raised its dividend back in March by 17%. I would expect a better performance of my banking stocks National Bank (NA) and Royal Bank (RY) as they both beat analyst estimates while BMO and BNS were trailing behind.

 

Readers, which stock is your favorite among my lists?
