Microsoft
Microsoft is truly my favourite company in the world. They are going ex-dividend 20 May 2020 by adding 4.64 shares the total divided payout for 2020 is going to be 22 USD. A small but growing position.
Why did I buy stocks of Microsoft?
Today I added additional to my $MSFT position.
Microsoft is one of my favourite companies in the world. I do not see a world without Microsoft.
As a user of and consultant helping clients with Microsoft products I can only say I believe Microsoft is on its right track with Azure and it’s Power Platform.
Late last year and this year Microsoft entered the market for Robotic process automation, this market is expected to grow in billions in the coming years. But using Power Automate together with PowerBI, Powerapps and then machine learning all available in the cloud or onprem Microsoft have a true killer portfolio.
I also see more and more companies are finally moving away from Lotus Notes and into O365, which is fully integrated with above features. Microsoft ecosystem is strong and keep growing.
Thesr covid times with Microsoft Teams for remote work and Microsoft xCloud with cloud gaming for everyone stuck at home.
Microsoft acquired a Telco 5G software company to get a stronger offering with Azure for Telco clients

Upcoming Dividend payment
Microsoft is going ex-dividend on 20 May.
They are paying a dividend of 1.99 USD per share. It’s a very reliable dividend with a only 1.13% yield as of writing. So far in year 2020 my portfolio is now giving 22 USD from Microsoft in dividends. I expect to increase this significantly in 2020.
