Microsoft

In 2020, shares of the tech juggernaut brought joy to its investors by way of stable income and enormous growth potential.

As the demand sky-rocketed, capitalization of Microsoft by the end of 2020 grew by more than 38%. And that is on top of the company’s 10% increase in dividends, owing to which the quarterly payments reached $0.56 per share.

The investors that risked buying Nike shares at multi-year lows ended up in the green. Over the current year, shares of the sports apparel champion grew by more than 37%, reaching record values. In November 2020, Nike expanded quarterly dividends by 12%, while the company’s quarterly payments amounted to $0.275 per share.
