Three chip and software giants paid dividends on Oct 8, with TSMC raising payouts, Salesforce modestly increasing, and NXP holding steady.

On October 8, 2026, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC), Salesforce, and NXP Semiconductors all paid dividends to shareholders. TSMC raised its dividend by 35.8% year-over-year, reflecting strong revenue and earnings growth, while Salesforce increased its payout by 5.8%, supported by solid earnings and share buybacks. NXP Semiconductors maintained the same dividend amount since April 2023, indicating a strategic choice to preserve cash for buybacks and business investment despite strong financial performance. These varied approaches highlight different board strategies on sharing growth with investors.

NXP Semiconductors leads with the highest dividend yield of 1.76% among the three, while TSMC holds the largest market cap at $2.07 trillion as of October 9, 2026, 19:41 WIB. On Pluang, TSMC shares are up 1.46% and Salesforce shares rose 0.35%, with NXP Semiconductors gaining 1.52% in the same period. Investor interest on Pluang is strong for these stocks, particularly Salesforce with 97% buy orders, reflecting active engagement following their dividend announcements.
