The terms "dividends" and "tech stocks" are a bit like oil and water. The two styles of investing are often at odds with one another. However, even in this most unlikely of sectors, income investors enjoy an ample number of potential dividend stocks. So without further ado, let's look at five of the highest-dividend tech stocks in the market today.
SouFun Holdings (NYSE: SFUN) - Particularly in technology investing, high dividend yields often accompany struggling stocks, and SouFun appears to be no exception. Computer Programs and Systems (NASDAQ: CPSI) - The blandly named Computer Programs and Systems has paid a dividend since 2003, but that doesn't necessarily mean the back-office healthcare software maker is a safer bet than SouFun. Quality Systems (NASDAQ: QSII) - Like Computer Programs and Systems, Quality Systems offers a range of software solutions for medical and dental practices, along with an intriguing 4.4% dividend yield. Himax Technologies (NASDAQ: HIMX) - The last year was brutal for shares of OLED display maker Himax Technologies, which helps explain its 4.3% dividend yield. Garmin (NASDAQ: GRMN) - Of all the names on this list, Garmin is by far the most recognizable. Many of these high-yielding companies might seem disappointingly risky after this initial analysis, but that also highlights an unpleasant truth about high-yielding investments. Often -- but not all the time -- stocks with massive yields also come with genuine risks.
