Tech income is a relatively new concept when it comes to big tech and investing in tech stocks more broadly. There are some companies here with long pedigrees that have been delivering dividends for decades. But the tech boom in the past three decades has given us a number of more mature tech firms with big market caps that are past their massive “Big Bang” expansion.

That’s how many of these early tech firms started — from something tiny to massive in the relative blink of an eye. And now they continue to expand, but it’s more about the reliability of their expansion than the speed of it.

Now it’s about their tech income stocks’ gravitational pull and the planets that now orbit their universes. And of course on a more fundamental level, it’s about shareholder value. Once these companies establish their foothold, they want to make sure their investors are compensated regardless of markets’ ebbs and flows.
