CNBC semiconductor correspondent Kristina Partsinevelos argued mega-cap firms like Nvidia Corp are great for investors seeking growth rather than income, as the AI chipmaker’s new dividend payout still reflects lower yields.
The chipmaker lifted its quarterly dividend to $0.25 from $0.01 after reporting blockbuster first-quarter earnings this week. The company will pay the new dividends starting with the June 26 payout.
Nvidia Still Yields Lower
In a post on X, Partsinevelos said Thursday, “Nvidia’s new $1.00 annual dividend now sits right next to Apple ($1.08) and above Alphabet ($0.88) in the mega cap payouts. Even after the jump from $0.04, NVDA’s yield is just 0.45%.”
She emphasized, “Mega cap investors aren’t here for income, they’re here for growth.”

Partsinevelos compared the dividend metrics to “h/t @HumOnTheMarkets,” which shows that Nvidia’s yield is aligned with the other mega-cap tech stocks.
Nvidia’s 0.45% yield is significantly below that of Microsoft Corp‘s 0.86% but higher than the yields of 0.36% for Apple Inc., 0.35% for Meta Platforms Inc., and 0.23% for Alphabet Inc.
