Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO), best known for its networking chips, has steadily expanded into corporate infrastructure software over the years. The company also plays an important role in artificial intelligence, as its networking chips allow large AI clusters in data centers to communicate efficiently and handle massive data workloads.
This strong growth has enabled Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) to raise its dividend by an average of 14% annually over the past five years. With significant opportunities in AI and a relatively low payout ratio of 36%, the company is well-positioned to deliver continued dividend growth for years to come.
