11 Technology Dividend Stocks With Accelerated Growth

Growth stocks are wonderful especially if they are at the beginning of their growth path. Growth normally creates shareholder value and if the company doesn’t need much money to finance the growth, you can benefit already within the early stage.

In order to find some growth opportunities from the technology sector with current dividend payments, I screened the technology sector by stocks with a recent earnings growth of more than ten percent (past five years). In order to catch up only those stocks with a gaining earnings growth, I observed only stocks with a quarter over quarter sales and earnings per share growth of more than fifteen percent.
