To find some of the potential dividend-initiating candidates, Morgan Stanley looked for stocks with a market cap exceeding $35 billion, a strong net cash position and a free cash flow yield exceeding 3%. Here are some of the companies that made the list: Several popular technology and companies made the list, including PayPal and Palo Alto Networks .
