Vishay Intertechnology Inc, known by the ticker symbol VSH is a Mid-cap Semiconductors firm, operating in the technology business sector. This is my first-ever report on VSH for this Viital portfolio or any of my previous 6 portfolios.

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

These products are found in industrial, computing, automotive, consumer, telecommunications, power supplies, military, aerospace, and medical markets and serve customers worldwide. 

Its product segments consist of two general classes: semiconductors and passive components. The company's operating segment includes metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors, 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 voltage and current levels in electronic circuits.

The company sells its products under Siliconix, Dale, Draloric, Beyschlag, Sfernice, MCB, UltraSource, Applied Thin-Film Products, IHLP, HiRel Systems, Sprague, Vitramon, Barry, Roederstein, ESTA, and BCcomponents brands. 

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 The 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 $19.32 as of Friday's market close. One year ago its price was $23.06. Therefore, Vishay’s share price fell $3.74 or about 16% in the past year. 

If Vishay’s stock trades in the range of $17.00 to $27.00 this next year, its recent $19.32 share price might rise by $2.68 to reach $22.00 by June 13, 2023. My $2.68 upside estimate is in line with the median of annual price increases calculated by four analysts covering VSH for broker firms.
 

VSH Dividends

Vishay’s most recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 payable June 29, 2022, to shareholders on record as of June 16th.  

VSH initiated its first quarterly dividend at $0.06 on March 27, 2014. The dividend was increased to $0.10 as of June 27, 2019. That resulting $0.40 annual payout is calculated to deliver a 2.07% annual yield per yesterday’s $19.32 share price.
 

VSH Returns

Adding the $0.40 VSH annual dividend to my estimated one-year price upside estimate of $2.68 shows a $3.08 potential gross gain, per share, to be reduced by any costs to trade VSH shares.  

At Friday's $19.32 closing price per share, a little under $1000 would buy 52 shares.

A $10 broker fee (if charged) would be paid half at purchase and half at the sale and might cost us $0.19 per share.

Subtract that maybe $0.19 brokerage cost from my estimated $3.08 gross gain estimate per share results in a net gain of $2.89 X 52 shares = $150.28 for a 15% net gain including a 2.07% forward-looking dividend yield. 

So is that Vishay Intertechnology Inc shows a possible 15% net gain including a 2.07% forward-looking dividend yield. 

Over the next year at this time, our $1000 investment in Vishay Intertechnology Inc shares might generate $20.70 in cash dividends. Of course, a single share of VSH stock bought at yesterday's $19.32 price is $1.38 less than the dividend income from our $1000.00 investment. 

So, by my dogcatcher ideal, this is a decent time to pick up Vishay shares based on their forward-looking dividends for 2022. The forthcoming annual dividends from $1K invested are $1.38 greater than Friday's single share price. Consider yourself alerted. It's 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.
