Apr' 23 dividend portfolio update: expanding coverage

Welcome to my quality dividend portfolio update for April 2023.

I normally only cover interim and full-year results from the companies in my model dividend portfolio in these updates. But after a deluge of results in February and March, the portfolio only provided a sprinkling of trading updates in April.

Some of these provide interesting commentary on trading conditions, so in a break from my normal programming I will be covering trading updates this month.

As a quick reminder, the model portfolio on this site contains the same companies as my personal portfolio.
