That’s because the company pays <em>you</em> to hold your shares when you have a dividend stock. And that’s true of even the biggest of large-cap stocks.</p><p>Most dividend-paying large-cap stocks issue payouts on a quarterly or monthly basis. If you are a younger investor, putting those payouts back into the stock makes sense to increase your position and grow your portfolio even faster. Once you get that money, it’s yours to do with as you see fit.</p><p>But if you’re a retiree, you’re probably more inclined to take those payouts as income to supplement your other retirement accounts.</p><p>Either way works, and I appreciate a company that cares for its shareholders.

That’s because the company pays you to hold your shares when you have a dividend stock. And that’s true of even the biggest of large-cap stocks.Most dividend-paying large-cap stocks issue payouts on a quarterly or monthly basis. If you are a younger investor, putting those payouts back into the stock makes sense to increase your position and grow your portfolio even faster. Once you get that money, it’s yours to do with as you see fit.But if you’re a retiree, you’re probably more inclined to take those payouts as income to supplement your other retirement accounts.Either way works, and I appreciate a company that cares for its shareholders. I’ve used my Portfolio Grader to evaluate some of the most significant dividend-paying large-cap stocks that would make outstanding choices for any dividend portfolio.NVDANvidia $265.27MSFTMicrosoft $283.39AAPLApple $162.66CVXChevron $169.18KO Coca-Cola $62.71VLOValero Energy$133.31SBUXStarbucks $104.69Nvidia Source: FP Creative / Shutterstock.comSemiconductor chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the hottest chip makers on the planet. The company’s stock is up nearly 90% in 2023, pushing the market capitalization to $689 billion.Nvidia produces chips that can produce amazingly advanced graphics highly prized by gaming applications and gaming centers. But with the popularity of the ChatGPT online chatbot developed by OpenAI, Nvidia is breaking new ground. It’s on Nvidia’s advanced graphics chips OpenAI is training its large language models. Nvidia is now making its DGX Cloud available online to give more businesses access to the infrastructure to develop artificial intelligence tools for themselves. The sky is the limit for NVDA at this point.Nvidia currently pays a minimal dividend. The payout ratio is 0.06%, but it’s still one of the more reliable dividend-paying large-cap stocks out there. I hope this company does a better job down the road of rewarding its shareholders with a payout. NVDA stock has a “B” rating in my Portfolio Grader.Microsoft Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.comMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is another of the dividend-paying large-cap stocks getting huge attention from ChatGPT and the growing AI trend. Microsoft partnered with OpenAI and uses the ChatGPT software to enhance searches on its Bing search engine and Edge web browser.The excitement helped push Microsoft shares up nearly 20% this year, with a market cap north of $2.1 trillion.As I wrote recently on my takeout on Microsoft, the company’s stock is also up on some positive news. It recently announced a plan to integrate AI technology into other platforms, including the planned Microsoft 365 Copilot. And these AI headwinds could also breathe new life into the Azure cloud computing segment.Microsoft, which provides a dividend yield of nearly 1%, has a “B” rating in the Portfolio Grader.Apple Source: Vytautas Kielaitis / Shutterstock.comThey don’t get any bigger than Microsoft and the next company on our list. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), the maker of the iPhone, wearables and Mac computers, has a market cap of $2.6 trillion.It’s well on the way to becoming the first $3 trillion stock, particularly after gaining about 30% this year.Analysts are undoubtedly bullish about AAPL stock, citing robust demand for iPhones and strong interest in China. But I’m much more focused on the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference in early June. At that event, Apple could very well roll out its augmented reality/virtual reality headset product.It’s been a while since Apple’s shown us something entirely new, so the reception to such a product will impact AAPL stock. But if you need another reason to like Apple stock, consider the Services segment that includes the App Store and iCloud.Revenue from Services reached $19.5 billion in the fiscal first quarter, a new record for the company.

That’s because the company pays you to hold your shares when you have a dividend stock. And that’s true of even the biggest of large-cap stocks.Most dividend-paying large-cap stocks issue payouts on a quarterly or monthly basis. If you are a younger investor, putting those payouts back into the stock makes sense to increase your position and grow your portfolio even faster. Once you get that money, it’s yours to do with as you see fit.But if you’re a retiree, you’re probably more inclined to take those payouts as income to supplement your other retirement accounts.Either way works, and I appreciate a company that cares for its shareholders.
