IBM(IBM), Qualcomm(QCOM) and Microsoft(MSFT) offer investors that perfect combination of dividend stability and robust growth, say analysts. From IBM's booming software sales to Qualcomm's ongoing smartphone success and Microsoft's 2012 resurgence, the trio offer plenty of growth opportunities, while still paying decent dividends.

Clearly, the days when tech dividends were perceived as the antithesis of growth are over. "In the years of the dot.com boom, in Silicon Valley there was a firm dividing line between what would classically be called value stocks and growth stocks," explained Charles King, principal analyst at tech research firm Pund-IT. "Dividends were in the purview of stodgier, older stocks -- it was considered déclassé for tech stocks."
