💡 MaxDividends Mission: Helping people build growing passive income, retire early, and live off dividends.
IntroI invest in reliable, high-growth dividend stocks with one simple goal: to live off dividends and build a stable, growing stream of passive income. A dividend cut might signal trouble, but a dividend increase is often a loud statement of strength and long-term confidence. And this is where MaxDividends truly proves its value. 🖤 Black Friday Early Access — 80% OFF PremiumFriday, November 28 — 10:00 AM New York My Word Here11/08 Update — email me anytime: max@maxdividends.app Everything’s right on schedule — October dividends have been fully reinvested, and the snowball keeps rolling. I’m moving forward, reaching new milestones in passive income, step by step, in real time. My portfolio is well-balanced — a mix of strong, reliable dividend companies — and I’m enjoying every chance to add more shares while the market still offers discounts. Next week, I’ll tell you about a new company I’ve been watching closely and plan to add soon. But for now, we’ve officially crossed the $800/month mark in dividend income — time to lock it in and keep climbing. December is right around the corner — a new month of reports, raises, and those beautiful little payout notifications that make this journey so rewarding. Long live dividends! 💪💰 This Week’s Best Reads 💡Dividend Deep Dives & Investing Gold This week was noisy, but the message felt simple: tune out the drama and let discipline do the work.

Dividend Hike of the Week: Exxon Mobil (XOM)Dividend Increase: +4%. 42+ consecutive years of dividends. Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) is a global integrated energy major across upstream, energy products (refining/marketing), chemical products, and specialty products, operating in the Americas, Europe, and Asia—solid leverage to crude cycles with a downstream/chemicals hedge, not flashy but steady. For Q3 2025, Exxon Mobil reported revenue of $99.33 billion and net income of $7.50 billion, with diluted EPS of $1.76; year over year, top line rose from $93.06 billion as refining throughput and chemicals improved—margins held up on mix and cost discipline despite volatile commodities. Operating cash flow was $14.80 billion, underscoring healthy conversion from earnings into cash amid stable utilization. The company pays an annual dividend of $4.12, yielding 3.52%, with a 42-year increase streak, 5-year dividend growth of +12.00%, and a payout ratio of 58.13%. Separately, Brown & Brown raised its quarterly dividend by 10% to $0.165 per share, extending its run of annual hikes. Max Dividends: How My Dividend Week WentThis one’s a special week, no doubt. And I’m happy I get to share it with you. Yesterday I turned 40 — a milestone of its own. It feels like the brightest moments are already behind me… and yet, somehow, all the most interesting ones are still ahead 😂 What truly matters? My family is with me. My wife, my kids — all close. Life is good, and I’m grateful for it. Especially because this trip — every espresso, every museum ticket, every evening walk — is paid for by dividends. That’s what makes this journey so real. It’s not theory anymore — it’s experience. Dividends are paying for our memories. And now, back to the portfolio. I made this week’s buys early — on Monday — just so I wouldn’t have to think about markets while we’re away. So if prices look a little different today, that’s why. The plan, though, stays the same. 🛠 The MaxDividends AppI track everything inside the MaxDividends App — payouts, hikes, and progress toward the $12K/month finish line.
