Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Channel Well Technology Co., Ltd. is engaged in the manufacturing, processing, trading, and sale of power supply and electronic components across Taiwan, Asia, the United States, Europe, and internationally with a market cap of NT$20.17 billion.

Operations: Channel Well Technology Co., Ltd. generates revenue through its operations in manufacturing, processing, trading, and selling power supply and electronic components across various regions including Taiwan, Asia, the United States, Europe, and other international markets.

Dividend Yield: 5%

Channel Well Technology's dividend yield of 5.02% ranks in the top 25% of the Taiwan market, yet its high payout ratio of 95.8% raises concerns about earnings coverage. Although dividends have grown over the past decade, they remain volatile and unreliable with a history of annual drops exceeding 20%. The cash payout ratio is more sustainable at 63.2%, but overall dividend sustainability remains questionable given recent declines in sales and net income for fiscal year 2024.

Dividend Yield: 3.2%

Despite a volatile dividend history, recent increases to JPY 6.50 per share and guidance for further growth indicate a positive trend.
