Tech Dividend Growth: Build Passive Income Streams | Worth Equities

Broadcom (AVGO) has been consistently growing and paying a dividend since 2011. The dividend has increased year over year by approximately 14.4% and the business has been growing shareholder distributions for over 14 years. Like all technology stocks Broadcom’s dividend yield is hardly going to shoot the lights out at 1.42% (at the time of writing this page) however it is slightly healthier than others within the sector. 

There is a solid track record of Broadcom increasing shareholder distributions well above inflation, which is a theme we like.

Dividends are usually distributed quarterly in the months of March, June, September & December. The first quarterly dividend of $0.65 cents per share was paid in March 2026.

For comparison purposes we have listed the last ten years of dividends below:

2025 $2.42

2024 $2.17

2023 £1.84

2022 $1.64

2021 $1.44

2020 $1.30

2019 $1.06

2018 $0.70

2017 $0.408

2016 $0.19

As this is the newest technology stock in the portfolio, we have only collected eight quarterly payments totalling £32.60 from holdings just nine shares.

Our ambition is to gradually increase technology holdings within the portfolio, as we have been under exposed in this sector.

AVGO’s holding within the portfolio will steadily increase over the next few years, as it is a business we like a lot.

Current fundamentals:

PE: 62.76 (30/06/2026)

FWD PE: 24.02 (30/06/2026)

Dividend yield: 0.69% (30/06/2026)

Further income analysis can been seen in the file below: 

Broadcom average five year share price

Looking at the average Broadcom share price over a five year period, then the share price has swung between:

At the highest point the stock sat around $374.23 on the 11/09/25

To the lowest point being $15.56 on 22/03/2020 at the start of the pandemic.

The share price for Broadcom has fluctuated quite dramatically due to the favourable technology sector, at certain points technology stocks experienced explosive gains. Most recently the AI theme has driven the share price to new highs where we have made some rather good gains from the main investment.

Based purely using our own experience and metrics that we apply to the stock selection process, we would be looking to further add shares between $150.00 to $175.00 dollars.

One of the main reasons for investing in Broadcom is that the aim of the portfolio is to identify stocks that have potential for both share price appreciation and have demonstrated dividend growth.

The purpose of the portfolio is to generate a steady passive income from income stocks whilst gradually working towards financial independence.

Broadcom fits into the portfolio well; as it has been growing both revenues and profits and moreover investor returns in the past nine years.

There is also an AI play here with respect to their knowledge based processors or I should say, “Family of Processors”. Just researching this section of their website is extremely informative and interesting. Processors that can handle 2.4 billion searches a second. Pretty impressive!

FY 23 revenue was $35.8 Billion

Research was R & D $5.3 Billion

All successful businesses must know the importance of staying focused and relevant within their sector therefore a certain percentage of profits must be allocated for research and development. At AVGO this is not a messily amount either, at $5.3 billion in 2023 the company is ensuring spending towards future success is paramount, another reason for my investment during 2024’s tech pull back.
