These include that it dominates the rapidly growing AI chip market and its CEO Jensen Huang has a stellar track record of staying ahead of the competition. That said, Nvidia's massive size will make achieving strong percentage growth in key metrics -- such as revenue, earnings, cash flows -- more and more challenging as time goes on.

This is why investors looking for decades of passive income need to step back and assess more than just dividend yield. Right now, Realty Income (NYSE: O) and Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD) are both offering attractive yields.
