AI dividend-screen highlights Dell and Seagate as standout laggards
The screen found Dell Technologies and Seagate, both tied to AI infrastructure, with Dell up 251% year to date and paying a forward annual dividend of $2.52.
AI is driving demand for more than just chipmakers, and one Yahoo Finance screen of the S&P 500 tech sector focused on dividend-paying companies positioned to benefit from the infrastructure buildout behind AI models.
The outlet says it filtered for forward dividend yield of at least 0.1%, kept names with year-to-date stock gains of at least 15%, and required 12 or more analysts for rating consensus. From 19 companies that matched, it highlighted Dell Technologies and Seagate Technology among the top performers by year-to-date growth.
For Dell, Yahoo Finance points to a 251% year-to-date stock gain and a forward annual dividend of $2.52, which it estimates at about a 0.58% yield. The article also cites a “Moderate Buy” consensus rating from 25 analysts.
For Seagate, the story frames the opportunity around data storage needs created by rising compute demand, describing Seagate as a provider of high-capacity hard drives used to store that growing data.
