How did NVE get its name?
The company was founded as Nonvolatile Electronics, Inc. in 1989. “Nonvolatile” refers to memories that retain data even when power is removed. The name was later formally changed to NVE Corporation. The company’s Corporate Identity page has more fun facts about its name and logo.

What is “nano” about NVE’s nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is often defined as technology where dimensions of a few nanometers (billionths of a meter) play a critical role. NVE designs use one of two nano-scale spintronic structures: giant magnetoresistors (GMR) and spin-dependent tunnel (SDT) junctions. In GMR devices, the resistance changes due to conduction electrons scattering at interfaces within the devices. The GMR effect is only significant if the layer thicknesses are less than the mean free path of conduction electrons, which is on the order of five nanometers. In awarding the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics for GMR, the Nobel Committee said, “GMR can be considered one of the first real applications of the promising field of nanotechnology.”

Where is NVE’s stock traded and what is the ticker symbol?

What is the dividend schedule?

Dividend payments, if any, are planned for the end of the second month of quarters (February 28, May 31, August 31, and November 30).

What is NVE’s dividend rate?
