Battle of Dividend Stocks: Microsoft vs. Apple

Battle of Dividend Stocks: Microsoft vs. Apple

While it's never enjoyable to watch the prices of your stocks decline, there's one thing that probably didn't take a hit in investors' portfolios during this period: their income from high-quality dividend stocks. Two tech stocks that have raised their dividend over the last year are Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). Microsoft's board of directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.68, 10% higher than its previous payout.
