Meanwhile, memory chip maker Micron Technology (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/mu\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MU<\/a> +3.25%) has seen its dividend yield tumble from 0.9% to its current 0.1% as a result of AI-fueled gains in its stock price.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, there are still some AI growth companies out there that offer decent dividend yields.

That all changed with the development of AI. Broadcom&#8217;s optic interconnect technology and custom accelerators became crucial for creating AI &#8220;clusters&#8221; that maximize processing power within a single application.<\/p>\n<p>As the company jumped to the front of the pack in providing this specialized AI infrastructure, its stock price jumped as well, soaring more than 680% in the last five years.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Broadcom Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768495329_699_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(2.28%) $7.76<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$347.65<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$1.6T<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$343.88 &#8211; $349.68<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$138.10 &#8211; $414.61<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>518K<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>28M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>64.71%<\/p>\n<p>Dividend Yield<\/p>\n<p>0.71%<\/p>\n<p>That price gain wreaked havoc on the company&#8217;s dividend yield, which briefly hit an all-time high of 6.7% in 2020. Although Broadcom has upped its dividend every year since 2016 &#8212; often quite substantially &#8212; its rising share price has caused the yield to sink to its current level.<\/p>\n<p>Expect management to continue to offer annual dividend increases, though, which could get this payout back to around its 2.2% average. But if the stock continues to soar and keeps the dividend low, it&#8217;s still a win for investors.<\/p>\n<p>2. Microsoft: 0.71% dividend yield<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/msft\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MSFT<\/a> +0.10%) began paying a quarterly dividend in 2004, and it has increased it every year since 2006, for a total of 20 consecutive years of dividend increases.<\/p>\n<p>As a $3.5 trillion company with a share price that&#8217;s more than doubled over the last five years, though, its dividend yield has dropped substantially since the mid-2010s, when it briefly topped 3%.

Because it fabricates chips for other companies as opposed to designing them itself, it&#8217;s an essential part of global AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Due to its dominance in the world of high-end microchip fabrication, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/how-to-invest\/stocks\/how-to-invest-in-taiwan-semiconductor-stock\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Taiwan Semiconductor<\/a>&#8216;s market cap has surged from about $400 billion three years ago to $1.7 trillion today. That&#8217;s caused its dividend yield to plummet from about 2.2% to below 1%. With the world&#8217;s appetite for high-end chips showing no sign of flagging, TSMC should remain top dog in its industry for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>4.

As one of the leading manufacturers of connectivity and cloud computing infrastructure equipment like wireless routers, switches, and cloud storage and security software, Cisco&#8217;s products help AI models quickly and securely access the data that they process, and allow network users to seamlessly interface with AI clients.<\/p>\n<p>Cisco began paying a quarterly dividend in 2011 and has increased it every year since. Its current 2.2% yield is actually low compared to its 10-year average of 3%. Cisco&#8217;s stock should continue to rise along with AI infrastructure spending, and its robust dividend only sweetens the deal.<\/p>\n<p>5.
