No, it’s not Nvidia… It’s Mode Mobile, 2023’s fastest-growing software company according to Deloitte. And the opportunity to invest in their pre-IPO offering at $0.30/share is closing soon.
Their disruptive tech, the EarnPhone and EarnOS, have helped users earn and save an eye-popping $325M+, driving $75M+ in revenue and a massive 45M+ consumer base. And having secured partnerships with Walmart and Best Buy, Mode’s not stopping there…
They’ve just been granted the stock ticker $MODE by the Nasdaq and the time to invest at their current share price is running out.
Three dividend-paying cloud stocks to buy give investors an opportunity to profit from a market rise with the tapering off of treacherous tariff tumult.
The three dividend-paying cloud stocks to some of the top names in technology. The growth of their share prices and their payment of dividends gives shareholders of each stock two ways to heighten their returns.
Citigroup recently reported that tariffs and retaliatory tariffs have not caused much, if any, impact so far on the spending of software and cloud customers.
“The budget environment for front-office technology spend remains tough and customers/prospects remain price-conscious,” Citigroup reported. “However, we also heard some green shoots and cautious notes of optimism, with certain platforms expecting a better growth year than 2024 and feeling more optimistic about the outlook for retail tech spend.”
Three Dividend-paying Cloud Stocks to Buy: CRM
San Francisco-based Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), a customer relationship management technology company, is a favorite dividend-paying cloud stock of Michelle Connell, a certified financial analyst (CFA) who also is president and owner of Dallas-based Portia Capital Management, LLC.
For income lovers, Salesforce pays a model dividend and offers an annual payout of dividend of $1.66 per share, with a dividend yield of 0.57%. The most recent quarterly dividend of $0.42 per share was paid on Thursday, April 24.
Salesforce is schedule to announce its latest quarterly results on Wednesday, May 21. With the company putting further focus on its artificial intelligence (AI) business, Connell told me she expected net profit margins in the 35% to 40% range.
“I think it’s more probable that they beat earnings estimates,” Connell said.
Salesforce began the quarter with a “very solid” balance sheet, Connell counseled. The company started the year with $14 billion in cash and $5 billion in short-term investments, she added.
“Thus, I believe that tech investors should keep watching the company,” Connell said “Given its lack of track record and large competitors, I would wait until after the earnings announcement to establish a position.”
Three Dividend-paying Cloud Stocks to Buy: Connell’s Clarion Call
For dividend investors, Connell forecast that Salesforce appears poised to continue generating large amounts of cash. She predicted the company could reduce debt or maybe even buy back shares.
“While the company does not give specifics as the dollar amount of sales and its growth for Agentforce, it’s safe to say that many of CRM’s sales are motivated by customers’ desire to incorporate AI agents into their business model,” Connell continued. “CRM has stated that existing customers can solve 30% to 60% of their service cases with Agentforce.”
In addition, Connell said that analysts have hypothesized that Agentforce will make CRM’s client stickier and improve retention. The AI agent market is experiencing substantial growth, with that market expected to reach $150 billion in 2025, she added.
From dwindling supplies caused by environmental mining restrictions and central bank hoarding… to global uncertainty regarding President Trump’s policies… and stubborn inflation… Gold in the midst of a perfect storm. One that could easily send the pricing soaring to $5,000 an ounce, or possibly even higher. And my top investing expert, Dr. Mark Skousen, has found two investments that could hand investors gains of up to 2,066%.
Seattle-based Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), a company known more for its online sales than investing in the cloud, is one of the strongest cloud stocks to buy right now, said Robert Castellano, a senior analyst with Gilder’s Technology Report. He added that the company is taking a clear, long-term approach to artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure while others are moving more cautiously than the industry giant, he added.
Indeed, Amazon, through its Amazon Web Services unit, is on track to spend more than $100 billion this year, with a large portion focused specifically on AI infrastructure, including custom silicon and high-performance data centers, Castellano told me. Amazon and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) are compelling because they’re not just participating in the AI wave—they’re actively building the foundational platforms that will power it, he added.
“That level of conviction and control over their infrastructure positions them especially well for long-term growth,” said Castellano, who follows those issues closely in Gilder’s Technology Report, along with technology futurist George Gilder.
Menlo Park, California-based META is one of the biggest builders of cloud infrastructure in the world. The company’s massive data centers are the backbone of artificial intelligence workloads, enabling everything from search and social media to ChatGPT and recommendation engines. Capital expenditures (CapEx) from companies like META and Amazon fund the chips, networking gear, power, cooling, and software that make modern AI possible Castellano said.
The market isn’t just numbers — it’s a living ecosystem as complex and interconnected as an ancient rainforest. The current market demonstrates this perfectly — while some stocks wither, others flourish. Our dual-patented A.I. acts as your navigation system through this trading wilderness, identifying intermarket relationships for faster asset selection and superior opportunities.
“The latest figures confirm that the buildout is not slowing down,” Castellano wrote in a recent Gilder’s Technology Report. “In first-quarter 2025 alone, hyperscaler CapEx reached $93.8 billion—up 2% from the previous quarter and up 71% year-over-year. Updated full-year estimates now project global cloud CapEx to hit $402 billion in 2025 and $429 billion in 2026, both numbers revised upward from earlier expectations. Simply put: the cloud giants are still spending aggressively.”
In addition, Meta raised its 2025 CapEx forecast to as much as $72 billion, citing increased AI data center demand and higher hardware costs from tariffs. Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL) reaffirmed its $75 billion CapEx plan, with spending focused on servers and datacenter infrastructure for Google Cloud and DeepMind, Castellano added.
“One segment of the market that isn’t actually all that bothered by tariffs, but surged nevertheless, is big-tech stocks,” Jim Woods wrote to his Technical Trader advisory service subscribers in his latest weekly update on May 13. “The notion here is that lower tariffs will help the entire global economy to not descend into a recession. It also means that inflation pressures will subside and that the Federal Reserve is more likely to cut interest rates again in either June or July, or both.”
The risk-on trade in “best-of-breed” technology stocks is something a good tactical trader needs to seize, Woods added.
Attempts for world leaders such as U.S. President Donald Trump and others to convince Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to end his more than three-year-old invasion of Ukraine have not borne fruit. Putin rebuffed a chance to meet face-to-face to negotiate with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, May 16.
Instead, Zelensky held a May 16 phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump. European Union (EU) leaders have been looking into increased sanctions against Russia if it continues its war against Ukraine. Russia’s officials have threatened to intensive its attacks unless Ukraine gives up land that is part of its sovereign territory.
The three dividend-paying cloud stocks to buy offer investors a chance to profit from latest tariff reductions and the shift toward normalized trade. Income investors seeking to ride the wave have three appealing opportunities to consider amid significant geopolitical risk.
