Tesla</h2><p>Like Google, <b>Tesla</b> also operates in a league of its own despite growing competition.

Ark Investment Management predicts global electric vehicle sales could grow from 7.8 million units in 2022 to 60 million as soon as 2027, driven by cost declines as the technology becomes more accessible. Tesla could end up with a smaller piece of a substantially larger pie over time.</p><p>But that&#39;s not all. Tesla is also a powerful force in artificial intelligence through its autonomous self-driving software. It&#39;s not only a value-add to its existing fleet of consumer-owned vehicles, but it also paves the way for the company to own significant market share in the autonomous robotaxi industry. While that&#39;s still in its infancy (to say the least), Tesla intends to release its first model in 2024, and the industry could present a $14 trillion opportunity over the next four years, according to Ark Invest.</p><p>Wall Street analysts expect Tesla to pull in $103 billion in revenue in 2023. That would be a 51-fold increase from the $2 billion it generated a decade ago, in 2013.

However, buying dividend stocks has historically been among the most successful.</p><p>According to a report published 10 years ago by J.P. Morgan Asset Management, a division of money-center bank <b>JPMorgan Chase</b>, income stocks have a history of wildly outperforming companies that don&#39;t offer a dividend. Between 1972 and 2012, companies that initiated and grew their payouts averaged a 9.5% annual return. By comparison, the annualized return of non-dividend stocks over the same 40-year period was a mere 1.6%.</p><p>But not all dividend stocks are the same. While the following seven companies aren&#39;t typically going to jaw-drop investors with their yields, the sheer dollar amount they devote to paying dividends certainly will. On a combined basis, these seven dividend stocks are paying out approximately $96 billion each year to their shareholders.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a>: $20.24 billion in annual dividends paid to shareholders</h2><p>The company that currently holds the crown as having the highest nominal-dollar dividend in the country is tech stock <b>Microsoft</b>. Although Microsoft&#39;s yield of 1.1% isn&#39;t much of a head-turner, its base annual dividend of $2.72 with 7.44 billion shares outstanding equates to an annual payout in excess of $20 billion.</p><p>One of the reasons Microsoft can sustain such a mammoth dividend is its revenue mix. Although core segments like Windows are no longer a growth story, its legacy operations still generate substantial cash flow. Microsoft has been able to utilize this cash to reinvest in faster-growing initiatives, as well as make acquisitions (e.g., LinkedIn and Nuance Communications).</p><p>Microsoft&#39;s future is very much dependent on the cloud and artificial intelligence (AI). Excluding currency movements, Azure delivered 38% sales growth in the December-ended quarter, and now accounts for almost a quarter of global cloud infrastructure service spending.  With the exception of Windows Commercial and Office Consumer products and cloud services, every other cloud-focused sales channel grew by a double-digit percentage (sans currency movements) in the most recent quarter.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/014995086f3661658074d153446c9206\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Historically high oil prices have helped ExxonMobil significantly grow its cash flow. WTI Crude Oil Spot Price data by YCharts.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XOM\">ExxonMobil</a>: $14.81 billion</h2><p>Historically, big oil has always been an excellent source of dividend income. Global energy major <b>ExxonMobil</b> keeps that tradition alive, with an annual payout to its shareholders of around $14.8 billion.</p><p>It&#39;s no secret that ExxonMobil is benefiting immensely from an increase in the price of crude oil. Russia&#39;s invasion of Ukraine, which has no obvious end date, calls into question Europe&#39;s energy supply needs. Couple this with three years of reduced capital investment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and you have a recipe for constrained supply and an above-average price for oil.</p><p>ExxonMobil&#39;s payout is further protected by its integrated operating model. While it generates the lion&#39;s share of its profit from drilling oil and natural gas, it also operates chemical plants and refineries (aka, its downstream assets). Even though this downstream segment doesn&#39;t have the same juicy margins as its drilling operations, it serves as the perfect hedge against crude oil price weakness.

There&#39;s a reasonable chance it would have topped this list had the company not repurchased more than $550 billion worth of its common stock over the past 10 years and reduced its outstanding share count.</p><p>The stability of Apple&#39;s payout begins with its mountain of operating cash flow ($109.2 billion in calendar year 2022). This cash flow represents the ongoing success of its physical product portfolio (iPhone, iPad, and Mac), as well as the burgeoning growth potential of its subscription service segment. Services are a higher margin segment for Apple, and will play a key role in the coming years by minimizing sales fluctuations tied to iPhone replacement cycles.</p><p>Apple also has an incredibly loyal customer base that trusts the brand. According to Interbrand, Apple has held the No. 1 spot as the world&#39;s most-valuable brand for 10 consecutive years. Interbrand&#39;s brand value calculation takes into account the financial performance of a brand&#39;s products and services, the role a brand plays in the purchase decision-making process, and a brand&#39;s ability to keep customers loyal.</p><h2>4. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JPM\">JPMorgan Chase</a>: $11.76 billion</h2><p>Similar to big oil, financial stocks are known for their steady dividends and healthy capital-return programs -- especially during economic expansions.

For those curious, Microsoft is the other public company with a AAA rating.</p><p>There are two explanations for Johnson &amp; Johnson&#39;s impressive dividend. First of all, healthcare stocks are naturally defensive. Since we can&#39;t control what ailments we develop or when we become ill, there&#39;s always going to be demand for prescription drugs, medical devices, and healthcare services. This consistency of demand helped J&amp;J to 35 consecutive years of adjusted operating earnings growth prior to the pandemic.</p><p>The other factor that allows J&amp;J to support a juicy payout is its sales mix. For more than a decade, high-margin pharmaceuticals have grown into a larger percentage of Johnson &amp; Johnson&#39;s revenue. However, brand-name drugs have a finite period of sales exclusivity. J&amp;J fights back against future patent expirations by reinvesting in its pipeline, collaborating with other drug developers, and leaning on its world-leading medical device segment.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d9029abdc83bd8ed7444a84d95a20040\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Chevron has increased its base annual payout for 36 consecutive years.

However, buying dividend stocks has historically been among the most successful.According to a report published 10 years ago by J.P. Morgan Asset Management, a division of money-center bank JPMorgan Chase, income stocks have a history of wildly outperforming companies that don't offer a dividend. Between 1972 and 2012, companies that initiated and grew their payouts averaged a 9.5% annual return. By comparison, the annualized return of non-dividend stocks over the same 40-year period was a mere 1.6%.But not all dividend stocks are the same. While the following seven companies aren't typically going to jaw-drop investors with their yields, the sheer dollar amount they devote to paying dividends certainly will. On a combined basis, these seven dividend stocks are paying out approximately $96 billion each year to their shareholders.1. Microsoft: $20.24 billion in annual dividends paid to shareholdersThe company that currently holds the crown as having the highest nominal-dollar dividend in the country is tech stock Microsoft. Although Microsoft's yield of 1.1% isn't much of a head-turner, its base annual dividend of $2.72 with 7.44 billion shares outstanding equates to an annual payout in excess of $20 billion.One of the reasons Microsoft can sustain such a mammoth dividend is its revenue mix. Although core segments like Windows are no longer a growth story, its legacy operations still generate substantial cash flow. Microsoft has been able to utilize this cash to reinvest in faster-growing initiatives, as well as make acquisitions (e.g., LinkedIn and Nuance Communications).Microsoft's future is very much dependent on the cloud and artificial intelligence (AI). Excluding currency movements, Azure delivered 38% sales growth in the December-ended quarter, and now accounts for almost a quarter of global cloud infrastructure service spending.  With the exception of Windows Commercial and Office Consumer products and cloud services, every other cloud-focused sales channel grew by a double-digit percentage (sans currency movements) in the most recent quarter.Historically high oil prices have helped ExxonMobil significantly grow its cash flow. WTI Crude Oil Spot Price data by YCharts.2. ExxonMobil: $14.81 billionHistorically, big oil has always been an excellent source of dividend income. Global energy major ExxonMobil keeps that tradition alive, with an annual payout to its shareholders of around $14.8 billion.It's no secret that ExxonMobil is benefiting immensely from an increase in the price of crude oil. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has no obvious end date, calls into question Europe's energy supply needs. Couple this with three years of reduced capital investment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and you have a recipe for constrained supply and an above-average price for oil.ExxonMobil's payout is further protected by its integrated operating model. While it generates the lion's share of its profit from drilling oil and natural gas, it also operates chemical plants and refineries (aka, its downstream assets). Even though this downstream segment doesn't have the same juicy margins as its drilling operations, it serves as the perfect hedge against crude oil price weakness. When the price of oil drops, demand for petroleum products often increases.3. Apple: $14.55 billionApple is another one of the highest-paying dividend stocks on the planet, in nominal-dollar terms.
