Dividend Yield: 6.4%

Wowprime's dividend yield of 6.36% is among the top in Taiwan, but its reliability is questionable due to volatility and a high payout ratio of 95.4%, indicating dividends aren't well covered by earnings. However, cash flows adequately cover dividends with a cash payout ratio of 47.6%. Despite recent earnings showing slight declines—TWD 362.76 million net income for Q3 compared to TWD 377.71 million last year—the stock trades at significant value below fair estimates, suggesting potential appeal for value-focused investors despite dividend risks.
