Taiyo Holdings (TSE:4626)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Taiyo Holdings Co., Ltd. operates in the electronics materials sector globally through its subsidiaries and has a market capitalization of ¥285.28 billion.
Operations: Taiyo Holdings Co., Ltd. generates revenue primarily from its Electronics Business, which contributes ¥81.70 billion, and its Medical and Pharmaceutical Business, which adds ¥31.56 billion.
Dividend Yield: 5.7%
Taiyo Holdings' dividend yield of 5.68% is among the top 25% in Japan, but its high payout ratio (98.4%) raises concerns about sustainability. Although dividends have been stable over the past decade, recent guidance indicates a slight decrease to JPY 145 per share for FY2026 from JPY 150 previously. Earnings grew by 24.6% last year, yet extraordinary losses impacted financial results, reflecting volatility in their earnings quality and dividend coverage challenges.

- Our comprehensive valuation report raises the possibility that Taiyo Holdings is priced higher than what may be justified by its financials.
Goldsun Building Materials (TWSE:2504)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Goldsun Building Materials Co., Ltd. operates in Taiwan and Mainland China, focusing on the production and sale of premixed concrete, cement, and calcium silicate board, with a market cap of NT$50.14 billion.
Operations: Goldsun Building Materials Co., Ltd.'s revenue primarily comes from its Taiwan ready-mixed business, generating NT$18.77 billion, and its Ready-Mixed Cement Business in Mainland China, contributing NT$1.03 billion.
Dividend Yield: 6.6%
Goldsun Building Materials offers a dividend yield of 6.57%, placing it among the top 25% in Taiwan, yet sustainability is questionable as dividends aren't covered by free cash flows. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 71.8%, earnings are expected to decline by 14.6% annually over the next three years, raising concerns about future payouts. Recent increases to TWD 2.8 per share highlight growth, but past volatility and lack of reliable coverage remain critical issues for investors.
- Take a closer look at Goldsun Building Materials' potential here in our dividend report.
- In light of our recent valuation report, it seems possible that Goldsun Building Materials is trading beyond its estimated value.
Kindom Development (TWSE:2520)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Kindom Development Co., Ltd. operates in Taiwan, focusing on the construction, development, and sale of real estate properties, with a market cap of NT$29.29 billion.
Operations: Kindom Development Co., Ltd.'s revenue is primarily derived from its Manufacturing segment at NT$15.96 billion, followed by Construction Segments at NT$14.23 billion, and Department Store operations contributing NT$1.77 billion.
Dividend Yield: 5.7%
Kindom Development's dividend yield of 5.74% ranks it in the top 25% of Taiwan's dividend payers, supported by a low payout ratio of 30.2%, indicating coverage by earnings and cash flows. However, its dividends have been volatile over the past decade despite recent growth. The company's strong financial performance, with net income rising to TWD 5.55 billion for 2024 from TWD 2.40 billion in the previous year, may offer some stability moving forward.
