You don't actually want them to start giving out a dividend, capital gains have a favourable taxation compared to dividends so as long as their profits can be reinvested and turned into growth investors will prefer that.

Qualified dividends* are taxed the same as realized long-term capital gains in the US.

* - which are most dividends paid by US entities that are not REITs or MLPs and paid to holders who care to optimize their taxes.
