When investing in equities, dividends can be a crucial factor to consider. Particularly for those looking to generate income from their portfolio.
Well-established blue-chip companies like major banks are less likely to experience significant share price growth over many years. However, as they are now well-established and profitable, they can distribute their earnings to shareholders rather than reinvesting that money into growing the company.
Recent pressures in the share market due to inflation, rising interest rates, and recession concerns could alter the Australian dividend landscape in 2023-24.
Here, we have compiled a list of Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) dividend stocks that could be worth monitoring in August 2023. Note that the following ASX stocks can all be traded with FP Markets via Contracts for Differences (CFDs).
