It is more volatile than 75% of Taiwanese stocks, typically moving 8.4% 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: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 61% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.4% average weekly change).New Risk • Mar 17New major risk - Revenue and earnings growthEarnings have declined by 61% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.Reported Earnings • Mar 17Full year 2025 earnings released: NT$1.76 loss per share (vs NT$1.26 loss in FY 2024)Full year 2025 results: NT$1.76 loss per share (further deteriorated from NT$1.26 loss in FY 2024).

Reported Earnings • May 19First quarter 2026 earnings: EPS and revenues miss analyst expectationsFirst quarter 2026 results: NT$0.20 loss per share (improved from NT$0.40 loss in 1Q 2025). Revenue: NT$1.30b (down 15% from 1Q 2025). Net loss: NT$120.2m (loss narrowed 49% from 1Q 2025). Revenue missed analyst estimates by 3.9%. Earnings per share (EPS) were also behind analyst expectations. Revenue is forecast to stay flat during the next 2 years compared to a 8.8% growth forecast for the Chemicals industry in Taiwan. Over the last 3 years on average, the company's share price growth rate has exceeded its earnings growth rate by 84 percentage points per year, which is a significant difference in performance.
New Risk • Mar 23New minor risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Taiwanese stocks, typically moving 8.4% 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: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 61% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.4% average weekly change).
New Risk • Mar 17New major risk - Revenue and earnings growthEarnings have declined by 61% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.
Reported Earnings • Mar 17Full year 2025 earnings released: NT$1.76 loss per share (vs NT$1.26 loss in FY 2024)Full year 2025 results: NT$1.76 loss per share (further deteriorated from NT$1.26 loss in FY 2024). Revenue: NT$5.74b (down 4.8% from FY 2024). Net loss: NT$1.04b (loss widened 39% from FY 2024). Revenue is expected to decline by 2.6% p.a. on average during the next 2 years, while revenues in the Chemicals industry in Taiwan are expected to grow by 8.3%. Over the last 3 years on average, the company's share price growth rate has exceeded its earnings growth rate by 96 percentage points per year, which is a significant difference in performance.
