EP 126 | Top 3 Breweries compared! Are they worth our time as dividend growth investors?
In today's show, we are comparing 3 breweries with each other. Not surprisingly, this was a much-requested topic, because which European doesn't love a good cold beer?
Hence, today we are comparing Heinken, Ab Inbev, and Carlsberg with each other. All these companies are very iconic with their own long history, sometimes dating back to the early 19th century.
However, the real question we try to address today is whether these are also good dividend stocks for our portfolio.
So enjoy today's show and C U on the inside!
