PCTI PriceOver the past year, PCTI’s share price rose 13.7% from $4.61 to $6.82 as of Thursday’s market close.If PCTI’s stock trades in the range of $4.00 to $8.00 this next year, its recent $6.82 share price might rise to $7.50 by next year. Of course, PCTI’s price could drop about the same $0.68 estimated amount, or more.My upside estimate of $0.68, however, is about $0.50 higher than the one-year target price from one analyst tracking PCTEL Inc for brokers.
PCTI Dividend
PCTEL Inc has paid generally increasing quarterly dividends since November 15, 2011. PCTI’s November pending Q dividend, has not been declared PCTEL ReturnsPCTI has accepted a cash offer of $7 per share from Amphenol Corp for the sale of the firm.At Today’s $6.82 closing price, a little over $1000 would buy 147 shares.A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and half at sale, might cost us about $0.07 per share.Subtracting that likely $0.07 brokerage cost from the $0.18 estimated gross gain per share makes a net gain of $0.11 X 147 shares = $16.17 or about a 1.75% net gain.You might choose to pounce on PCTEL Inc shares. However the Amphenol offer is a cash payout and you’ll only make $16.17 on your $1000 stake. If taken, this is a low budget small margin buy.Remember the true value of any stock is best realized through personal ownership of shares.More By This Author:Current Analysis: Juniper Networks
