Vishay Intertechnology Inc, known by the ticker symbol (VSH),  is a mid-cap semiconductor manufacturer, operating in the technology business sector. This is my first-ever report on VSH for this Viital or any of my six other dog of the week stock portfolios.

Vishay Intertechnology Inc provides a broad product portfolio of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components to original equipment manufacturers and distributors. 

Its product segments consist of two general classes: semiconductors and passive components. 

The company's operating segment includes metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), diodes, optoelectronic components, resistors, inductors, and capacitors. 

Revenue mainly comes from resistors, which are basic components used in all forms of electronic circuitry to adjust and regulate levels of voltage and current.

The company serves industrial, computing, automotive, consumer, telecommunications, power supplies, military and aerospace, and medical end markets. 

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. was incorporated in 1962 and is headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania.

Three key data points gauge any dividend equity or fund such as Vishay Intertechnology Inc (VSH):

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those three basic keys best tell whether any company has made, is making, and will make money. 

VSH Price

Vishay's price per share was $19.82 as of yesterday's market close. One year ago its price was $23.58. Therefore VSH's share price fell $3.76 or 15.95% in the past year.

If VSH's stock trades in the range of $18.00 to $25.00 this next year, its recent $19.82 share price might rise by $3.68 to reach $23.50  by February 15, 2023. This estimate is tantamount to the median of one year price targets from four analysts tracking VSN for their brokerage bosses.

VSH Dividends

Vishay's most recent quarterly dividend of $0.10 was paid to shareholders December 17th, to shareholders on record as of December 6th.  The VSH  Annual estimated dividend payout per share of $0.40 yields 2.02% per yesterday's $19.82. closing price. 

VSH has paid quarterly dividend payouts increasing every three years or so since March, 2014. That stretch will mark 8 years next month.

VSH Returns

Adding the $0.40 annual VSH forward-looking dividend to its estimated one-year price upside of $3.68 shows a $4.08 potential gross gain, per share, to be reduced by any costs to trade VSH shares.  

At yesterday's $19.82 price per share, a little under $1000 would buy 50 shares.

A $10 broker fee (if charged) would be paid half at purchase and half at sale and might cost us  $0.20 per share.

Subtract that maybe $0.20 brokerage cost from my estimated $4.08 gross gain estimate per share results in a net gain of $3.88 X50 shares = $194.00 for a 19.4% net gain on a $941.00 investment.

So it is that Vishay Intertechnology Inc (VSH) shows a possible 9.41% net gain including a 2.02% forward estimated dividend yield. 

Over the next year at this time our $1000 investment in Vishay Intertechnology Inc (VSH) could generate $20.20 in cash dividends alone. Note that a single share of VSH stock bought at yesterday's share price of $19.82 is  $0.38 less than the dividend income from $1000.00 invested. So, by my dogcatcher ideal, now is the time to pickup Vishay Intertechnology Inc, (VSH) shares. The estimated next-year dividend from $1K invested is $0.38 greater than the single share price of VSH. Consider yourself alerted. Its a sign!  

All of the estimates above are speculation based on the past history of Vishay Intertechnology Inc, (VSH. Only time and money invested 

in this stock will determine its market value.
