7 Dividend Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever - 5 of 7

 
 

#5 - Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN)

Technology stocks may not immediately come to mind on a list of dividend stocks to hold for the long haul. But Texas Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ: TXN) has been a leader in the semiconductor industry for years, waving off its doubters for years.

Still, many investors view the company as old school compared to current chip stock darlings like NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD).  

But it's worth noting that Texas Instruments has been a significant beneficiary of the CHIPS Act. The money it has received will allow the company to expand its fabrication facilities in Texas and Utah, which puts it in the sweet spot for an administration looking to onshore chip manufacturing. 

TXN stock has delivered a total return of 1,151% in the last 20 years. It is on the verge of becoming dividend royalty with 21 consecutive years of dividend increases.
