€358.28 in dividends in 30 days. 78 payouts. 91 entries. 276 positions. Plus May outlook, plus my COMPLETE portfolio from top to flop — unfiltered.

In this portfolio update I show you my entire hard-asset portfolio without any filter: which stocks are running (Canacol Energy +256%, Mara Holdings +45%, Vale Indonesia +28%, GERDAU +27%, M.P. Evans +22%, BW LPG +19%), which are bleeding (Bukit Asam −27%, Indo Tambangraya −19.5%, Unilever Indonesia −18%, PBF −17%, Horizon Oil −17%), and what my plan is for May 2026.

Also: my learning curve since 2022 — from hydrogen hype and tech FOMO to hard-asset cash flow. April 2026 delivers MORE dividend in one month than all of 2022 combined (€45.74). That is 7.8x growth in 4 years.

1. April 2026 in Numbers

For comparison: in 2022 I received only €45.74 in dividends — the entire year. April 2026 beats that in 30 days by a factor of 7.8x. That is the magic of cash-flow compounding — not witchcraft, but consistent hard-asset strategy with dividend reinvestment.

Logic behind the buys: VW due to historically low valuation (P/E ~4) despite Trump tariff risk. Scandinavian Tobacco for tobacco cash flow. Novo Nordisk as a pharma comeback bet after the 54% crash. Central Asia Metals as a pure copper supercycle play. Unilever Indonesia as a value bet in the Indo sleeve. For the copper thesis see Glencore Analysis 2026 and Jiangxi Copper.

4. Top Performers: Canacol, Mara, Vale Indonesia, GERDAU

Canacol Energy — +256%

The clear number 1 in the portfolio. Canacol is a Colombian gas specialist with long-term contracts. More than tripled since entry 2 years ago. The position stays for now — cash flow coverage sufficient for dividend hikes.

Mara Holdings — +45%

My only Bitcoin miner. Positioned as an asymmetric bet on the Bitcoin halving cycle and energy-efficiency lead. Small position, high volatility.

Vale Indonesia — +28%

Nickel specialist in the Indo sleeve. Recovering from a low. More on the Vale parent (VALE) in the Vale Analysis 2026.

GERDAU — +27%

Brazilian steel cash-flow champion. Full position — see Gerdau Analysis 2026. Steel cycle turning in favor of US reshoring.

Other mid-field performers: BW LPG (+19%, see BW LPG Consolidation), M.P. Evans (+22%, palm oil pure play), NewtekOne (BDC), CVS Health (pharma retail), Ardmore Shipping, Hafnia (see Tanker Comparison), ING Groep.

5. Underperformers: Bukit Asam, Indo Tambangraya, Unilever Indonesia, PBF

Indo coal sleeve reality check: Bukit Asam (−27%) and Indo Tambangraya (−19.5%, see ITM Analysis) suffer from the coal price crash and Indo rupiah weakness. The question: hold or realize loss? My answer: hold. Dividend yield still high (10%+), and the coal cycle historically turns after exactly such low phases. Comparison with Whitehaven Coal and Exxaro Resources shows: AUS- and SA-coal hold cash flow better than Indo coal.

Unilever Indonesia (−18%) is a small consumer-goods position, currently under pressure from rupiah weakness. PBF Energy (−17%) suffers from refinery margin compression. Horizon Oil (−17%) I recently analyzed — Horizon Oil Analysis 2026 — Papua New Guinea risk persists.

6. Learning Curve Since 2022: From Hydrogen Hype to Hard-Asset Cash Flow

2022: hydrogen stocks (Plug Power, Nel ASA), tech-growth FOMO, crypto bets without a clear thesis. Dividends 2022: €45.74. Full year.

2023: first tanker positions (Frontline, DHT), pivot to yield-oriented sectors.

2024: full pivot to hard assets. Mining sleeve built out (see the complete Mining Overview 2026). Upstream sleeve follows — Upstream Finale with 26 stocks.

April 2026: €358 dividends in one month. 7.8x the entire year 2022. Not a question of faith, but math: consistent cash-flow investing beats FOMO trading across every cycle.

7. May 2026 (Running): €12.98 from 7 Payouts + €800 Deposit

May start: €12.98 from 7 payouts (AT&T, Universal, Verizon, Edison International, Trinity Industries, Altria). Plus €800 fresh deposit. Planned May buys: Hapag-Lloyd (container consolidation play, see Shipping Consolidation 2026), APA (continued build), BCE (telecom yield), Champion Iron (iron-ore mid-cap).

Also: ISIN switch Bitfarms → Keel Infrastructure (crypto mining restructuring).

Weekly Recap KW19 — €164 Special Dividend

Right after this portfolio update came the KW19 special-dividend hammer: INSW $4.55 + Dorian LPG $1.00 = ~€164 gross in one week. Plus: Arbor Realty cuts, Trump 25% EU auto tariff, Iran talks crash Brent.

9. Strategy Update Q2 2026: What Is Changing?

Three strategic shifts for Q2 2026:

  1. Pharma sleeve widening: Novo Nordisk (see Analysis) is just the start. Bayer is coming in KW20, Pfizer already in.
  2. REIT series starting: with MPW as REIT #01 (see MPW Analysis 2026) and STAG Industrial as REIT #02 (KW20).
  3. Mining becoming more selective: instead of all 22 stocks, focus on cash-flow champions: Rio Tinto (see BHP vs. Rio Tinto Comparison), Glencore, Central Asia Metals, Valterra Platinum.
