  • Evaluating Nasdaq's Top 3 Highest-Dividend Stocks: Kraft Heinz, Comcast, Paychex
    February 4, 2026, 6:19 PM EST. As of early February, the Nasdaq-100's three highest dividend yields exceed 4.1%, led by Kraft Heinz at 6.74%, Comcast at 4.23%, and Paychex at 4.19%. Kraft Heinz's high yield is driven by a 19% stock decline amid consumer shifts away from packaged foods and potential Berkshire Hathaway share sales, making it a risky buy. Comcast, which recently spun off its cable networks, benefits from strong theme park revenue growth but faces broadband subscriber losses. It offers reliable dividends despite limited growth potential. Paychex, focused on payroll and HR services, shows a higher yield due to a significant 30% stock drop over 12 months, above its five-year average. Investors should weigh dividend yields against company fundamentals and stock performance in these Nasdaq picks.
