Meet the New Face of Dividend Stocks
Investors rush to buy dividend stocks for one big reason: These players offer recurrent income regardless of the direction their share prices or the entire market is taking. So, even in difficult times, investors can count on returns from these investments. On top of this, companies that pay dividends generally have the financial strength to do so, another comforting point for investors.
You'll find dividend stocks across industries, but high-growth players like technology stocks traditionally aren't known for standing out here. They tend to pour extra cash back into their businesses to boost growth rather than return the surplus to shareholders. But times are changing, with more and more technology players balancing their strategies to allocate a portion of cash to growth and a portion to dividend payments.
Of course, you'll still find the strongest dividend prospects from companies in other industries, like healthcare for example. But tech companies today offer you a new way to approach dividend investing -- one that blends growth with passive income. Two companies in particular represent this new face of dividend stocks and make great buys right now. Let's check them out.
