Nvidia raises dividend per share from $0.01 to $0.25; five AI stocks with growth potential also pay dividends despite low yields

Nvidia announced a dividend increase from $0.01 per share to $0.25 per share during its last earnings report, bringing the yield to about 0.45%.

Five companies—Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms—combine AI sector growth with dividend payments, though their current yields range from 0.82% to 6.60% and payout ratios remain low compared to traditional dividend stocks.

These companies are prioritizing capital expenditure for data centers and AI infrastructure over dividend increases; however, their low payout ratios suggest room for dividend growth once the AI build-out phase concludes.
