Top Technology Stocks by Dividends Paid
Top technology companies ranked by dividends paid, latest annual filings.
What Dividends Paid Means for Technology Companies
Dividends paid is the cash returned to shareholders over the latest fiscal year, read straight from the financing section of the cash flow statement. Most large technology firms began paying late in their lives and hand over a small share of profit, because reinvestment in product and distribution came first for decades. The result is a short payer list for such a large sector, dominated by a few mature platforms and hardware franchises.
Why It Matters Less in Technology
Share repurchases, not dividends, are how most of this sector returns cash, so a ranking of cash dividends captures only part of the picture and leaves out firms whose entire payout policy runs through the share count. A small total is often youth rather than weakness: a company still compounding revenue has every reason to keep its cash. Where a technology dividend does exist, it usually signals cash generation that has outgrown the reinvestment opportunity.
What to Read Alongside
Read it next to Net Income and Free Cash Flow to see how much of what the business earns actually leaves it, and next to Share Buybacks, the channel this sector uses far more.

This list ranks the total dollars paid out over the latest fiscal year, so the largest companies lead it; a big payout says nothing about the yield a share buys today. A company whose balance sheet runs above 150 times its market cap is left out, because at that gap the accounts are not in US dollars.
How this ranking is built
Companies are ranked by dividends paid as reported in their most recent annual filing with the SEC. Figures shown are in US dollars (or percent, as noted), rounded to two decimals.
- Source: annual 10-K / 20-F filings from companies trading on US exchanges (NYSE, Nasdaq, AMEX).
- Fiscal year: whichever annual period the company has most recently filed. Fiscal years don't always align with the calendar year, so the "as of FY" stamp above reflects the most common year across the table.
- Filtered out: warrants, preferred shares, and duplicate listings that share a parent company's financials.
- Size floor: A company qualifies at $500 million in market cap or above. Below that, one mis-stated figure outranks the companies the list is about.
- Currency check: A company whose annual revenue runs above 15 times its market cap is left out, because at that gap the two figures are not in the same currency.
- Currency check: A company whose balance sheet runs above 150 times its market cap is left out for the same reason.
- Update cadence: refreshed as companies file new annual reports (typically within 60–90 days of fiscal year end).
