Technology Dividend Stocks With High Return On Investments And Big Operating Margins Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Technology stocks are characterized by high growth, high margins and low dividends. They normally pay low dividends because they want to finance new technologies with high growth potential. Many of the big IT companies serve billions of cash but they don’t know where to invest it.
I screened the technology sector by the most profitable stocks (stocks with an operating margin and return on investment over 20 percent) with a dividend yield over 3 percent. Exactly fourteen companies fulfilled these criteria. Most of the results come from the semiconductor or communication industry. Four stocks have a double digit yield and five are recommended to buy or they have a strong buy rating.
Here are my favorite stocks:
