3 Dividend-Paying Nasdaq 100 Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in October

When investors think of the Nasdaq 100, they often picture exciting growth stocks like Adobe Systems or Zoom Video Communications. The emphasis of these stocks tends to be more on growth of the company and growth of the share price. Roughly half of the Nasdaq 100 doesn't even pay a dividend, and the average yield of this index is just 0.5%.

But just because the majority of Nasdaq 100 components are growth-oriented companies without dividends, that doesn't mean there isn't a selection of stocks in the list that pay out market-beating dividends while also generating solid stock price growth.

Here are three non-tech, dividend-paying stocks with growth potential in the tech-dominant Nasdaq 100 that investors can buy with conviction in October.
