Welcome back to my monthly newsletter, in which I review results and trading updates issued by eight of the stocks in my dividend portfolio over the last month.

On the whole, I would say that these companies are making steady if unspectacular progress, against a midly unfavourable backdrop. One of them has even declared a special dividend in its half-year results.

But there are a couple of problems, too, including one possible sale decision.

In this month's report

This is a lengthy report, but as always I've started with a short summary of my thoughts on each company.

New stock #2: 20 years of dividend growth & a 6% yield

This 106-year-old AIM-listed business looks unloved, but I think the shares could deliver attractive returns if market conditions and sentiment recover.
