Here are short reports on five Technology Sector candidates for the 30th selection to the Attention portfolio.

Monday, April 28 Dog of the Day was Alps Alpine Co Ltd with the ticker (APELY) was reviewed for one or more of my past ten years of dog of the week portfolios.

Incorporated in 1948 and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Alps Alpine Co., Ltd. manufactures and sells electronic components in Japan and internationally. It operates through three segments: Component, Sensor and Communication, and Module and System.

Three key data points gauge Alps Alpine or any dividend paying entity, namely:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those keys also show if any company has made, is making, and will make money.

APELY Price

Alps Alpine’s price is up 13.65% for the year as of April 30th’s closing market price, from $18.31 to $20.81.

APELY Dividends

Alps Alpine has paid variable semi-annual dividends since July 2003. The current forward looking annual dividend of $0.80 yields 3.84% per Wednesday’s April 30th market price.

APELY Returns

Putting it all together, a $1.95 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding APELY’s annual $0.80 dividend to an estimated $1.15 annual price gain, totaling that $1.95 gross gain amount.

A $1000 investment at the recent $20.81 price would buy 48 shares which, multiplies the $1.95 gross gain to $93.60.

Furthermore over 40% of that gain comes from the $38.30 in dividends generated from a $1,000 investment which amounts to over 1.88 times greater than the recent $20.81 single-share price.

(A dividend dogcatcher rule is to never buy a dividend from $1000 invested that pays less than the cost of a single share.)
