Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), J2 Global Inc (JCOM) & Tech Companies That Pay Dividends Too

First off, it should definitely be pointed out that this company has a market cap that sits around $110 billion. There goes the growth, right? Whoa! Not so fast there! The analysts covering this stock actually believe that growth will continue to be above 10% over these next two years.

While you sit back and collect on those yearly gains, you’ll also be able to collect the 2.19% that Qualcomm pays out in a dividend yield.

In 2008, Qualcomm had $11.1 billion in sales. They have managed to come close to doubling that over the last five years. 2012 sales came out to a nice $19.1 billion. Net income from those sales came out to $5.33 billion.

One big bonus about QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) versus the other two tech stocks in the article is that they are the only ones not carrying some long term debt. I’m sure there are some people out there that will take an interest in this stock simply because of that.

Investor takeaway

There you have it, three tech stocks that pay out dividends.

If there was one that was absolutely a ‘buy’ then that would have to be Qualcomm, for me. The company has no debt, has promising growth prospects, and it pays a nice little 2% yield.

Both J2 Global Inc (NASDAQ:JCOM) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) fall under the ‘moderate buy’ category, in my mind. There are some people that these types of stocks will appeal to, and I wouldn’t knock you if you ended up buying either one of them.
