Daily Stock Pick: TE Connectivity
A portfolio of stocks I've been building since September 3 is named Volio Folio. It will eventually hold 52 dividend dogs. Volio is the fifth portfolio I've built (at a one dividend dog per-week pace) since 2014. Five portfolios = V for Volio!
Today I'm reviewing the second of five technology stocks striving to be picked to join the Volio folio. This could be the eighth pick for Volio!
That technology sector has nineteen industries ranging from communication equipment, computers, consumer electronics, and contract manufacturing, to health, information technology, and services, to the internet, scientific instruments, software, solar, and all such techno-marvels.
My subject today is a large-cap company, TE Connectivity. Their trading ticker symbol is TEL.
TE Connectivity is a technology company that designs and manufactures connectivity and sensor products for harsh environments in a variety of industries, such as automotive, industrial equipment, data communication systems, aerospace, defense, medical, oil and gas, consumer electronics and energy.
TE Connectivity Ltd. sells its products to approximately 140 countries primarily through direct selling to manufacturers, as well as through third-party distributors and online.
The company was formerly known as Tyco Electronics Ltd. and changed its name to TE Connectivity Ltd. in March 2011. TE Connectivity Ltd. was incorporated in 2000 and is based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.
I use three key data points to gauge dividend-paying equities or funds like TE Connectivity Ltd:
(1) Price
(2) Dividends
(3) Returns
Besides those three, several other keys will finally unlock an equity or fund in which to invest, or not.
Those three basic keys, however, best tell whether a company has made, is making, and will make money.
TEL Price
TEL's price per share closed at $93.74 yesterday. A year ago its price was $77.48. So, in the past year, its price grew $16.26 or near 21%.
Assuming TEL's stock trades in the range of $80.00 to $100.00 this next year, TEL's recent $93.74 price could rise by $9.26 and get to $103.00 by mid-October, 2020, assuming its upward price momentum continues, slowing just a mite.
TEL Dividends
TEL's latest declared quarterly dividend was $0.46, paid September 6th.
That $0.62 Q dividend equates to $1.84 annually and yields 1.96% based on yesterday's $93.74 closing price.
TEL Gains?
Adding the $1.84 annual estimated dividend to my $9.26 estimate of TEL's price upside shows an $11.10 potential gross gain, per share, which will be reduced by costs to trade these shares.
Say we put a little over $1,000.00 today into TE Connectivity Ltd at its recent $93.74 price, we'd buy 11 shares of TEL.
A $10 broker fee paid half at purchase and half at sale could cost us $0.91 per share.
Subtract that $0.91 brokerage cost from the estimated $11.10 gross estimated gain leaves a net gain of $10.19 X 11 shares = $112.09 or an 11.2% net gain on a $1,031.14 investment.
Therefore, TE Connectivity Ltd, whose trading ticker symbol is TEL now shows a possible net gain of 11.2% including a 1.96% dividend yield. It could be more, it could be less.
The above speculation is based on past year performance. The actual results remain to be seen to learn if TE Connectivity Ltd is worth your time and money.
