Operations: Hong Tai Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. generates NT$6.56 billion in revenue from its manufacturing, processing, and sales of electric wire and cable, communication products, and accessories.

Dividend Yield: 6.3%

Hong Tai Electric Industrial offers a dividend yield in the top 25% of the TW market, yet its high cash payout ratio of 198.8% raises concerns about sustainability. While dividends have grown over the past decade, they have been volatile and unreliable. Despite a favorable price-to-earnings ratio of 12.8x compared to the market average, earnings growth has not sufficiently covered dividends through cash flows, posing risks for income-focused investors seeking stability.

Dividend Yield: 6.2%

Alltek Technology's dividend yield of 6.19% ranks in the top 25% of the TW market, but its sustainability is questionable due to a lack of free cash flow coverage and volatile payments over the past decade. Although dividends have grown, they remain unreliable and not fully covered by earnings or cash flows. Recent earnings growth is positive, with net income rising to TWD 244.13 million for Q3 2024, yet financial stability concerns persist due to insufficient debt coverage by operating cash flow.
