Microsoft
Microsoft company information
As one of the largest companies in the world, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has steadily increased its sales, and an especially attractive feature for dividend investors is its focus on recurring, or subscription-based, revenue sources.
Microsoft has a solid balance sheet with more cash than debt and a very low payout ratio that leaves tons of room to grow the dividend. Given its 18-year streak of dividend increases, we wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft joins the Dividend Aristocrats club soon.
