Broadcom
Broadcom reported AI revenue of $4.4 billion, marking a 46% increase year-over-year. The company has increased its dividend payouts six times in the past five years, with a five-year annualized growth rate of 13.3%. Its cash flow reached a record $6.4 billion, reflecting a 44% year-over-year climb.
NVIDIA
NVIDIA’s data center sales hit $39.1 billion, a significant 73% increase from the previous year’s $22.5 billion. Shares yield 0.1% annually, which remains low compared to the S&P 500’s yield of 1.2%. Despite this, NVIDIA is recognized as a strong stock in the AI sector.
