Solid Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks That Also Pay Dividends

Aiming to combine growth with income, five AI stocks are highlighted for dividends: Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms. Current yields span from below 1% to about 6%, with Nvidia at 5.93%, TSM at 6.60%, Alphabet around 0.95% (GOOG) and 0.82% (GOOGL), Microsoft at 2.55%, and Meta at 5.50%. The piece underscores that dividends are not the primary driver for these names, as cash flows fuel data centers and AI programs. Nvidia recently raised its dividend from $0.01 to $0.25 per share, signaling a modest improvement in income.
