While analysts have a mix of recommendations on VPG, interesting to note the median EPS for 09/10:

09 median 6.2c(high 7.1, low 4.8)
10 median 6.2c(high 7.4c, low 4.9)

With dividend payouts now at 75% of earnings, yields are now over 100%. Much of their income is stable, recurring income- which I presume is why analysts are so closely aligned in their estimates.

(FYI I don't place much faith in analysts, especially nowadays, but simply providing a perspective)
