A lesser-known tech manufacturing stock that’s not to be missed

SINGAPORE (March 24): With solid cash flows and little debt, tech and electronic component manufacturers have long been favourites among yield-seeking investors.

According to analysts, the sector averaged a 4.4% yield last year. But many of these stocks have appreciated significantly over the past year on the back of steady orders. Their financials have also been bolstered by a stronger US dollar, the tech sector’s primary currency of exchange. Larger players are leading the gains.

Venture Corp is up 14%, shares in Valuetronics Holdings have soared 50%, and Hi-P International is up 30%. So, it may be time for investors to consider some of the smaller, lesser-known players.
