How much TEL fits your loss budget if the floor holds?
Volatility isn't risk. Ruin is. Choose the price you'd pay. The filings give us a modeled floor. You decide how much of your portfolio can be wrong. That — not a chart — sets the size.
TE Connectivity plc is a Technology company.
Its floor is the earnings power floor, modeled from its filings: $62.00 a share.
At the prior close of $208.05 on 2026-10-23, that floor is 70.2% below.
With a 3.0% loss limit, your loss budget allows 4.3% of your portfolio, and business quality allows up to 8.0%. Your loss limit is the tighter constraint.
TEL position size FAQ
How much TEL stock should I own?
That depends on the price you would pay and the loss you can accept. At the prior close of $208.05 and a 3.0% loss limit, the calculator's maximum is 4.3% of your portfolio. It is a ceiling on size, not a recommendation to buy.
What is TE Connectivity plc's downside floor?
$62.00 a share: the earnings power floor, modeled from TEL's filings and recomputed 2026-10-23. Banks and insurers are held to book value; every other business to its earnings through a full cycle. A floor is a model, not a bound: the price can trade through it.
Why is TEL capped at 8.0%?
Its quality composite is 0.526 on a 0–1 scale, built from five ratios in its annual reports and graded against all companies, not just its sector. That composite keeps 66.8% of the 12.0% ceiling: 12.0% × 66.8% = 8.0%.
Does this tell me whether TEL is a buy?
No. It does not value the business. It sizes a position so one mistake cannot dominate your portfolio.
