3 Dividend-Paying Tech Stocks to Boost Your Portfolio in November

In the ever-evolving financial landscape, 2023 has marked a triumphant return for tech stocks. Bouncing back from notable downturns last year, these stocks are now outpacing the broader market. Even as economic momentum slows, investors are flocking to industries flashing long-term growth potential. Moreover, while the allure of innovation tempts many, there’s a hidden gem in the mix in tech dividend stocks.

However, dividend-paying tech stocks paint a slightly different picture, showcasing the industry’s diverse offerings. At its core, tech firms champion transformative solutions, amplifying convenience and productivity. Financial stability, though, remains a concern for some, which is where tech dividend stocks come into play.

Oracle (ORCL)

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) continues to make waves this year, with its stock surging a remarkable 23.5% year-to-date. The tech titan’s prowess in cloud computing solutions, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), is undeniable. Moreover, its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) boasts the industry’s lowest ownership cost, leading many companies to lean on Oracle for crafting and refining AI models. Moreover, a hearty 29% spike in organic cloud sales, driven by stalwarts including OCI Gen 2 and back-office apps, speaks volumes of the company’s market traction.

While a revenue shortfall of $20 million in its most recent quarter, analysts were quick to pinpoint the culprits in diminishing licenses and hardware revenue. Additionally, Oracle’s consistent cloud growth and bettering margin landscape reinforces optimism for its fiscal year 2026 goals. Given the infancy of the AI boom, Oracle’s horizon appears vast and luminous. It yields a remarkable 1.6%, with the management primed to build on their 9-year dividend growth legacy. Factor in the bullish stance from TipRanks analysts and a potential 29% stock uptick, and Oracle holds a promising trajectory.

Texas Instruments (TXN)

Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN), boasting EBITDA margins soaring above the 49% mark, is a semiconductor giant that’s hard to overlook. Proficiently sailing through the ongoing analog chip slump, TXN remains incredibly resilient and an emblem of innovation. As automation gains momentum, Texas Instruments’ integrated circuits, critical cogs in modern systems, will continue to shine brighter.

While many analysts may get entangled in the short-term narrative, Texas Instruments’s gaze is firmly on the horizon. By laying the foundation for wafer fabrication facilities in Texas and Utah, the company is efficiently laying its blueprint for future dominance. Although its third quarter figures wavered due to industry headwinds, its current valuation is tantalizing for long-term investors. Couple this with a 17-year streak of swelling dividends and a juicy 3.67% yield, and TXN stock’s allure is undeniable. With an eye on domestic manufacturing expansion, courtesy of the U.S. Chips Act, and a firm dedication to long-run growth, Texas Instruments emerges as a compelling investment narrative.

Managing U.S. data centers and an impressive portfolio of more than 226,000 communication sites in 25 countries. Distinctively, while American Tower retains ownership of these tower structures, the tenants maintain their antenna gear, base station, and HVAC.
