OPINION: Consider these low-key tech stocks because they have appealing dividend yields and are profiting from the coronavirus-induced uncertainty.
In times of trouble, investors often turn to dividend stocks for security. After all, firms with generous dividends tend to have reliable profits to back them up — and reliability is in high demand these days.
If you’re looking for yield but worried about trusting the same old dividend plays, then consider these off-the-beaten-trail tech stocks with decent yields.Digital Realty Trust DLR, +0.68% is also a REIT, but one of much different flavor than mall operator Simon. It rents out server rooms to power the cloud-based operations of clients in financial services, technology and digital media, among others.
Cogent is unique, however, in that it treats its bandwidth like a commodity rather than charging fixed fees like its Big Telecom competitors.
There’s risk here, of course, and not just because this new and more streamlined company is a bit of an unknown. More practically, sales could slacken if its customers cut back on spending because they are among the newly unemployed. However the hard truth is that only folks with a decent amount of cash to protect tend to purchase this company’s services, making it a high-margin business.
Thanks to its reliability, Amdocs boasts a very subdued beta of 0.6 over the last five years — hinting that while it has fallen on hard times recently, it tends to experience much less volatility than peers over the long haul.
