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

Overview: Ardentec Corporation offers semiconductor testing solutions for memory, logic, and mixed-signal ICs to various clients globally, with a market cap of NT$33.17 billion.

Operations: Ardentec Corporation's revenue is primarily derived from providing semiconductor testing solutions to integrated device manufacturers, wafer foundry companies, and fabless design firms across regions including the United States, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, China, and Europe.

Dividend Yield: 3.4%

Ardentec Corporation's recent dividend announcement of TWD 4 per share for 2024 reflects a commitment to shareholder returns, though its dividend yield of 3.42% is below the top quartile in Taiwan. The company's dividends are well-covered by both earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 52.4% and 46.4%, respectively, indicating sustainability despite past volatility in payments. Recent earnings showed a decline in sales and net income, which may impact future dividend stability.

The company's dividends have been stable and reliable over the past decade, with consistent growth.
