EPS 272 | 2026 Dividend Strategy: What Dividend Investors MUST Do Before Year-End

This week on Dividend Talk, we sit down together to look ahead to 2026 and ask a big question: is now the perfect moment to review and refine our dividend growth investing strategy?

Every Friday, we chat about dividend stocks, and in this episode, we’re diving deep into planning, discipline, and staying focused when the market (and the holiday season!) tests our impulses.

We kick things off with some Black Friday fun, then move into what really matters:

• Why now is the right time to review our 2026 dividend plan

• How we avoid emotional decisions during the busiest time of the year

• The latest dividend news: HPQ, LVMH, Alimentation Couche-Tard, Omnicom, real estate REITs and more

• What falling oil prices and weak consumer trends might mean for dividend investors

• Insights from Goldman Sachs and Allianz on expected European equity performance

• Our biggest lessons from past years — from dividend safety to tax optimisation

• How to prepare your portfolio for next year’s opportunities and risks

• And of course, your listener questions on income factory theory, REITs, AI disruption, sin stocks, and how we experience the real “snowball effect” of compounding

If you want to continue the conversation, you can join our growing community of European dividend investors on Facebook or Discord — we’re always there sharing ideas, lessons, and motivation.
