Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Nvidia, Meta….all behemoths in today's stock market, pay very little, or no dividends at all, although they are the highest companies by market cap.
This is a stark contrast to the big companies in the last decades, be it Banks, oil companies, utilities….
Are the expectations different now? Is it just because a company is considered a software or internet related, then the stock is considered a growth stock? I don't get it. Amazon or Google are giant multinationals than will now grow as much as some AI or gaming startup, IMO they should be paying dividends to their shareholders, or are we past that line of thinking now?
