New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 34% per year over the past 5 years.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 6.1% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 6.1% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.8% average weekly change).

Net income: NT$99.2m (down 38% from 3Q 2023). Profit margin: 5.0% (down from 10% in 3Q 2023). The decrease in margin was driven by higher expenses. Revenue is forecast to grow 17% p.a. on average during the next 2 years, compared to a 17% growth forecast for the Semiconductor industry in Taiwan. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 40% per year but the company’s share price has only fallen by 6% per year, which means it has not declined as severely as earnings. New Risk • Nov 06
New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Taiwanese stocks, typically moving 6.7% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.7% average weekly change). Ankündigung • Oct 30
