A Tech Stock Combining Growth and Decent Yield

 

In a world where tech stocks often fail to offer both dividend yield and growth, here's a company that delivers that elusive combination.

 


When we think dividend tech stocks, we often think of popular companies such as Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT) or Nvidia (NVDA). Those companies have two things in common: They offer great growth potential, but also pay a ridiculously small yield.

 

Is it possible to find a tech stock that would give us both? A company like IBM (IBM) could come into mind as it offers a very generous yield in this sector (around 4.5%). The problem is that IBM’s core business is still slowing down. The shift towards the cloud business seems quite difficult and other players are just doing it better. IBM hopes its shipping blockchain based solutions will provide additional growth as it is hard to replicate. Your dividend is safe and will continue to increase, but do not expect much besides that from your investment in this aging monolith. I have a better pick for you.

Broadcom--the combined entity of Broadcom and Avago--boasts a highly diverse product portfolio across an array of end markets.
