7 Tech Stocks With Rising Dividends and Good Liquidity Coverage

A company’s dividend can be funded from various sources, although some are preferred over others. The most preferable is cash from operations, but in the event that a company’s operations suffer from a temporary dip, the dividend can be maintained by cash holdings or selling other liquid sources such as securities. Therefore, highly liquid companies are often more likely to have sustainable dividends. We ran a screen on tech-sector dividend stocks for those that have seen significant increases in dividend per share, with the current year estimate at least 10% higher than last year’s dividend. We then searched for those with most recent quarter current assets at least 20% higher than current liabilities. We controlled for sustainable dividend yields below 7% and payout ratios below 35%.Interactive Chart: Press Play to compare changes in analyst ratings over the last two years for the top six stocks mentioned below.
