Merrill Lynch is also looking for technology stocks. Here's their top 4

In March 2009, the S & P500 reached bottom at 666, and since then the second longest bullish market of all time has begun. Already 10 years. Although real shares have moved away in the past 18 months, but we already have new signs that the market is ready to break up again. Technological stocks, especially those from the FAANG group, have taken the markets forward. This year is also no exception, with NASDAQ shares up 22% against those of the S & P500 and their growth of 15%.

Goldman Sachs has recently been quite negative for some technology companies, especially in the software sector. Currently, the companies in this niche record new yearly peaks and everything looks like the 2001 picture before the tech bubble bursts.

Merrill Lynch, however, has found four buy-out technology shares that pay a good dividend.

Cisco

Top mega-cap company recently announced impressive results. Cisco Systems designs, manufactures and markets products and services to the IT and communications industry around the world.

The company offers switches, information storage products, workstations, IP phones, wireless hotspots and servers. Shareholders receive a dividend of 2.5%, with Merrill's target being $ 62.

IBM

Blue chip company and current stock levels still offer a great opportunity for investors to get in. IBM is a leading provider of enterprise products and solutions, providing a broad portfolio of IT, hardware, IT services and a whole range of software products and solutions. The five major segments of the company are: Cognitive Solutions, Global Business Services, Technology Services & Cloud Platforms, Systems, and Global Financing. Shareholders receive a 4.68% dividend, and Merrill's target is $ 165.

Qualcomm

Over the past year, stocks were quite volatile. The reason was the litigation with Apple, which was resolved in the smoothest possible way. Qualcom designs, develops and supplies semiconductors.

The company also provides software solutions for wireless products, the dividend is 3.42%, and Merrill believe the shares will jump to $ 105.

Western Digital

Leader in the hard drives market. Western Digital Corp designs, manufactures and sells hard drives for business and home use for laptops, desktops and servers. It is currently the third largest manufacturer of SSD hard drives.

Analysts believe that if WD switches to NAND flash, it will continue to bring significant revenue. Sales of Dell computers and PC sales in general will only benefit WD this year and in the future.
