Jan '23 dividend portfolio update: mixed news

Welcome to my January portfolio update.

Accident-prone insurer Direct Line Insurance Group (LON: DLG) fell by 20% in January. I'll comment on the latest news from this troubled business shortly. I'll also take a look at a portfolio stock that gained 20% last month.

However, my main focus in these updates is on portfolio companies that have published half-year or full-year accounts during the month. There was only one of these last month – a FTSE 250 share – so I'll start with that.

My monthly portfolio reports are only available to subscribers. I'd strongly recommend signing up – you'll also get full access to my model dividend portfolio and detailed reviews of all portfolio trades.

The model portfolio contains the same shares I hold in my own portfolio.
