Q2 2026 earnings season has started, and it opened with a bang: IBM (IBM) dropped 25% in a single day. We dig into why, and land on an uncomfortable answer — it isn't the technology that keeps failing this company, it's the culture. From there we work through the reports that matter for dividend growth investors. RELX (RELX.L) and Wolters Kluwer (WKL.AS) keep growing while everyone insists AI will erase them. Texas Instruments (TXN) looks like its capex super-cycle is finally turning. TotalEnergies (TTE) delivers a masterclass in paying down debt. Nestlé (NESN.SW) drops 8%. CME Group (CME) shows what happens when volatility fades. And Novo Nordisk (NVO) squares up to Eli Lilly (LLY) in court over GLP-1 marketing. Then it's over to you. We answer listener questions on what we'd buy in a 30% sell-off, preference shares, Terry Smith selling Wolters Kluwer, the new Amundi all-world SCHD-style UCITS ETF, small-cap dividend payers like Defama (DEF.DE) and Chesnara (CSN.L), and what life actually looks like once the dividends cover the bills.

This week we welcome our first Belgian guest to the show: Belle Dividends (Kim). Kim's story starts almost by accident. In January 2022, after a failed attempt to become a crypto trader, he opened an account with Belgian broker Bolero and bought his first three stocks: AB InBev, Kinepolis and Umicore. A few years and a lot of YouTube and podcast listening later, he now runs a portfolio of 82 positions built around a simple goal: a 3% net dividend yield, even after Belgium's notoriously heavy dividend tax.In this episode Kim walks us through his investing journey, why dividend investing suited his personality more than growth or trading ever did, and how he deals with Belgian withholding tax (spoiler: UK stocks and a Legal & General dividend ETF both play a role). We also get into his interest in African equities, including his top position Helios Towers, plus Airtel Africa and DRC listed Texaf, and why he believes sub Saharan Africa's demographics make it one of the more interesting growth stories out there.Kim also shares the remarkable story of taking over his mother's finances after a dementia diagnosis, and how that led to a rapid, deliberate windfall investment that shaved more than a decade off his path to financial independence. We round things off with his thoughts on oil markets and macro trends, the tax friendly countries he's considering for the future, and a big batch of listener questions on portfolio strategy, UK renewable energy trusts, and more.Also in this episode: Derek and European DGI open with the Trump and FIFA controversy around the USA v Belgium match, and share an update on Greencoat UK Wind ahead of its July investor presentation.Kim's path from a frustrated would be crypto trader to an 82 position dividend portfolioNavigating Belgium's dividend tax and why she targets a 3% net yieldInvesting in Africa: Helios Towers, Airtel Africa and Texaf in the DRCTaking over his mother's finances and investing a large windfall with intentionHis macro view on oil, the Permian basin and the Iran conflictTax friendly countries on her radar for the future: Paraguay, Cyprus and GeorgiaListener questions on allocation strategy, ETFs, and UK renewable energy trusts like Greencoat UK WindWant deeper analysis, ad free episodes and more?

In episode 302 we review our Q2 2026 dividend portfolios during a quarter where the market quietly rotated out of tech and back into dividend growth. EDGI is now 99.6% of the way to his FIRE number with +14.4% dividend income growth for the quarter, while Derek crossed €7,000 in trailing dividend income, up 14% year over year. On the news desk: why the US Dividend Aristocrats (NOBL) are outrunning software in 2026, Palantir (PLTR) CEO Alex Karp calling AI token pricing a "wealth tax" on business, and whether AI agents should be taxed after OpenAI's reported 5% equity offer to the US government. Stocks we get into include Accenture (ACN), Wolters Kluwer (WKL.AS), VICI Properties (VICI), Vopak (VPK.AS), General Mills (GIS), Paychex (PAYX), ADP (ADP), Big Yellow Group (BYG.L), British American Tobacco (BATS.L), Shell (SHEL.L), Legal & General (LGEN.L), NN Group (NN.AS), Alibaba (BABA), Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL). Plus Q2 hikes from JPMorgan Global Growth & Income (JGGI.L), 3i Group (III.L) and LondonMetric (LMP.L). We close with listener Q&A on low-yield growth stocks, the ones that got away, and how we'd invest €500 a year for a newborn.

We're kicking off Season 7! This week we cover Bayer's (BAYN.DE, BAYRY) Supreme Court win in the Roundup case and the reopened Strait of Hormuz, then break down five bank dividend increases: Morgan Stanley (MS) +15%, Citigroup (C) +11.6%, Goldman Sachs (GS) +11.1%, Wells Fargo (WFC) +11.1% and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) +10%. Our main topic: the dividend growth investing mindset in "the boring middle" — staying motivated through years of slow compounding, why higher-yield names like Intel (INTC) and HP (HPQ) start looking tempting, and why we still buy growers like Accenture (ACN) and PepsiCo (PEP) even though the Magnificent Seven could have beaten our returns. Plus listener questions on diversification, rebalancing, the LDEG Europe dividend ETF, WACC/ROIC, cash-secured puts and more.
