Better Tech Dividend Stock: Oracle or Accenture
Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) and Accenture (NYSE: ACN) are both blue-chip tech behemoths that are more often associated with stability than growth. But over the past 12 months, Oracle's stock rallied more than 60% as Accenture's stock advanced nearly 50%. The S&P 500 rose less than 30% during that time.
Oracle and Accenture are very different companies. But they both outperformed the market by staying resilient throughout the pandemic, consistently repurchasing their own shares, and paying steady dividends. Oracle pays a forward dividend yield of 1.4%, and its stock still looks reasonably valued at 20 times forward earnings. Accenture pays a forward yield of 1.1%, and its stock looks a bit pricier at 36 times forward earnings.
