When it comes to searching for dividend stocks, tech seldom makes the cut. Spare cash is usually reinvested to foster further innovation and growth, rather than being used to reward shareholders with a quarterly payout. Nevertheless, while typically not the home of the stock market's highest yields, a combination of modest payouts now and steady pay raises over time can equate to big returns and big paydays for your future self. When building an income-generating portfolio, don't ignore technology.
To that end, three tech stocks that make my buy list for the month of September are Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT), and Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET).
