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.
