Wall Street’s Top Analysts Weigh In On 3 Tech Stocks Yielding Over 4%

In a market where yield is back in fashion, top‑rated analysts on Wall Street are spotlighting three tech names that deliver dividend yields north of 4 %. According to research published by Benzinga, the picks include: HPQ (HP Inc): With a dividend yield of about 5.06 %, HP caught the attention of two high‑accuracy analysts. Morgan Stanley’s Erik Woodring downgraded HP from Overweight to Equal‑Weight and lowered the price target from US $26 to US $24.  Meanwhile, Citigroup’s Asiya Merchant kept a Neutral rating but trimmed the target from US $29 to US $27 — and boasts a 89 % accuracy rate. HP is also scheduled to report its Q4 fiscal 2025 earnings later this month. SWKS (Skyworks Solutions): Yielding about 4.50 %, Skyworks was upgraded by Mizuho Financial Group analyst Vijay Rakesh from Underperform to Neutral and the price target raised from US $65 to US $73. The analyst has an 81 % accuracy rate. Conversely, UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri held Neutral but cut his target from US $85 to US $80 — accuracy at 82 %. The upgrade follows better‑than‑expected Q4 results announced in early November. AUDC (AudioCodes Ltd): Offering a 4.16 % dividend yield, AudioCodes earned commentary from analysts with strong accuracy credentials. Barclays analyst Ryan Macwilliams kept an Underweight rating but raised his target from US $9 to US $10 (accuracy about 63 %). Meanwhile, Needham’s Ryan Koontz maintained a Buy rating and increased his target from US $11 to US $12.50 (accuracy ~74 %). AudioCodes also posted upbeat Q3 results earlier in November. Why this matters: Tech stocks are not traditionally seen as dividend plays — many prioritize growth instead of cash distribution — but these three names break that mold. With yields exceeding 4 % and reputable analysts backing them (or at least providing updated views), income‑seeking investors might find opportunities here. That said, downgrades and target reductions (as seen with HP and Skyworks) underscore that yield alone isn’t a guarantee of smooth sailing. Bottom line: If you’re hunting tech exposure and income, HP, Skyworks, and AudioCodes warrant a closer look. That said, keep tabs on earnings, analyst revisions and broader tech sector dynamics — because even high‑yield names in growth sectors come with extra layers of risk. #TechDividendPlays #HighYieldTech #AnalystInsights #DividendInvesting #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
