AI and chip stocks are turning into dividend growers, and popular dividend ETFs like FDVV already hold names such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Broadcom, and Alphabet among their top holdings. Free cash flow is fueling the raises: Nvidia produced $48.6B in a single quarter and lifted its dividend from $0.01 to $0.25, while Broadcom keeps almost half of every sale. TDIV and TDV give investors technology-heavy dividend growth in one fund, with TDIV growing its total payout 48.6% over five years and TDV raising its dividend 23% over the last five years.
TDIV offers superior exposure to AI-driven tech growth vs. TDV, with broader holdings and higher direct AI ecosystem exposure.
