Our proprietary snapshot of this list — averages and standouts, computed from the companies below. Not investment advice.
Technology is famous for reinvesting every dollar into growth rather than paying it out — but a growing group of mature tech companies now generate so much cash that they return a meaningful, rising dividend on top of buybacks. This page gathers the tech names that actually pay one, so you can see the dividend-paying corner of the sector in a single view.
The list spans enterprise software and cloud (Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce), semiconductors and chip-making equipment (Broadcom, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Applied Materials), networking and hardware (Cisco, HP, Dell, Corning), and IT services (Accenture, IBM, Cognizant). Yields here are typically modest — many pay well under 2% — because these are still growth-first businesses; the appeal is a dividend that compounds alongside the share price rather than a high headline number.
Dividend Vision's angle is durability and growth: which tech payouts look safe through our Distribution Safety Score, how fast each dividend is rising, and how valuation stacks up in a premium-priced sector. Figures refresh live from our data pipeline on every build, and nothing here is investment advice.

Why this list matters
Dividend-paying tech is a way to own the sector's growth and cash generation while still collecting a rising income stream — but yields are low and valuations are rich, so this is a growth-with-income story, not a high-yield one.
Who it's for
- Growth-minded income investors who want rising dividends, not just high current yield
- Long-term compounders reinvesting a small but fast-growing payout
- Investors seeking dividend exposure to software, chips, and IT services
- Anyone comparing a tech name they own against its peers on yield, growth, and safety
Benefits
- Exposure to the sector's enormous free cash flow and structural growth
- Dividends here often grow faster than the market average, lifting yield on cost over time
- Many of these companies also run large buybacks, adding a second form of shareholder return
Risks
- Low starting yields — most pay well under 2%, so current income is modest
- Rich valuations that price in years of continued growth and can fall hard on a miss
- Cyclicality in semiconductors and hardware, where earnings and buybacks swing with demand
- Rapid technological change — today's cash cow can be tomorrow's disrupted business
- Total return leans on price appreciation more than the dividend
What to watch
- Dividend growth rate, not just yield — a fast-rising small payout can beat a static larger one
- How well earnings and free cash flow cover the dividend — start with the Distribution Safety Score and payout ratio
- Valuation versus expected growth, measured through forward P/E
- Where a name sits in its cycle — chip and hardware earnings are more volatile than software or services
How we rank these investments
This page is a curated universe, not a ranked buy list — the table sorts on any column. These are the dimensions we surface and what each tells you.
- Distribution yield. The current dividend as a share of price. Tech yields are low by design — a sub-2% figure is normal and reflects a growth-first return case.
- Dividend growth. How fast the payout is rising. This is the number that matters most for tech dividends; double-digit growth is common and lifts yield on cost quickly.
- Distribution Safety Score. Dividend Vision's proprietary read on how durable a payout looks, from the same one scorer used across the site.
- Valuation. Forward P/E and related measures put the growth expectations baked into each price in context — these are premium-priced companies.
- Total return. Price change plus dividends. For tech, price does most of the work and the dividend is the smaller, steadier contributor.
- Business role. Software, semiconductors, hardware, or IT services — each carries a different growth, cyclicality, and margin profile.
- Liquidity & size. Market capitalization and trading volume. Larger, more liquid names are easier to trade and tend to be less volatile; market cap is our default sort.
- Payout ratio. The share of earnings paid as dividends — usually low here, which signals plenty of room to keep raising.
Frequently asked questions
What are technology dividend stocks?
They are shares of established technology companies — software, semiconductors, hardware, and IT services — that pay a regular dividend on top of reinvesting in growth. This page tracks 37 of them with live market data.
Do tech stocks pay good dividends?
Tech yields are usually modest — many under 2% — because these are growth-first companies. The appeal is dividend growth rather than a high starting yield: payouts here often rise faster than the market, lifting your yield on cost over time. Sort the table by yield or dividend growth to compare.
Does NVIDIA pay a dividend?
Yes. NVIDIA pays a dividend, although its yield is small relative to many traditional income stocks. Use the live table and NVIDIA ticker page for the current yield and payment data; evaluate any increase in the context of the dollar payout, free cash flow, and reinvestment needs.
Which big tech companies pay dividends?
Microsoft, Apple, Broadcom, Oracle, Cisco, IBM, Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, and Accenture are among the larger payers, and Nvidia, Alphabet, and Meta pay small or newly-introduced dividends. Amazon and most unprofitable high-growth names pay none. Each ticker page shows the current yield and our Distribution Safety Score.
Are semiconductor stocks good dividend payers?
Several are. Broadcom, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Qualcomm, and the chip-equipment makers pay real dividends and have raised them for years, though semiconductor earnings — and therefore buybacks and dividend growth — are more cyclical than software or services.
Why are tech dividend yields so low?
Because these companies still see high returns on reinvesting their cash into growth, so they pay out a small share of earnings and prioritize buybacks. A low payout ratio also means the dividend has room to grow, which is why tech is a dividend-growth story more than a high-yield one.
How is this different from a tech or dividend-growth ETF?
An ETF bundles many names into one fund. This page lets you see and compare the individual dividend-paying tech companies, each linking to a full analysis, with a live DV Scorecard summarizing the group. A dividend-growth ETF is the fund-based alternative.
What is the Distribution Safety Score?
It's Dividend Vision's proprietary measure of how durable a company's dividend looks, scored from 0 to 100 using the same single model applied across the site.
How often is this list updated?
The membership is curated, while yields, prices, market caps, and Distribution Safety Score readings refresh from our data pipeline on every build. The figures reflect the most recent data run.
