Ask David

“Are tech stocks likely not going to be good dividend growth stocks for the foreseeable future? Given their reliance on good and expensive R&D to keep market share? Seems to be a no-brainer to me. Dividends and more meaningful dividend growth is seemingly better in other sectors. Or am I just underestimating the time it takes for dividends to grow?

What will happen to tech stocks if they have poor dividends and stock price growth flattens out? Where would the value for shareholders come from? Or am I missing something or am I just worrying unnecessarily?”

~ Nathan

Some tech companies will not pay a dividend, some will, some will grow it, and some will not. Technology is way too broad of a sector to answer in the context of monolithic treatment of dividends. What is constant where there are technology companies that pay consistent and growing dividends is that the company is mature, has recurring cash flows, and management that has exited the ego phase of corporate oversight.

Value does not come from dividends – it comes from profits. The value of those profits is realized in dividends. If profits are not returned to shareholders but used to create more profits, that is where value creation could come from. Or, that is where value could be destroyed.
