Jetway Information (TPEX:6161)

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

Overview: Jetway Information Co., Ltd. is a global company that designs, manufactures, and sells motherboards and other IT products, with a market capitalization of NT$4.49 billion.

Operations: Jetway Information Co., Ltd. generates its revenue primarily from the design, manufacture, and sale of motherboards and various IT products on a global scale.

Dividend Yield: 3.3%

Jetway Information's dividend yield of 3.34% trails the top quartile in the TW market, and its dividend history shows volatility and unreliability over the past decade. Despite these concerns, dividends are supported by a reasonable payout ratio of 72.6% and a cash payout ratio of 46.7%, suggesting coverage from both earnings and cash flows. Recent financial performance indicates improved earnings, with Q1 net income rising to TWD 51.61 million from TWD 18.18 million year-over-year, potentially bolstering future dividend stability.

Macnica Galaxy (TPEX:6227)

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

Overview: Macnica Galaxy Inc. operates as a distributor of IC products and services in Taiwan and China, with a market capitalization of approximately NT$6.01 billion.

Operations: Macnica Galaxy Inc. generates its revenue primarily from the distribution of IC products and services across Taiwan and China.

Dividend Yield: 3.2%

Macnica Galaxy's dividend sustainability is questionable due to a history of volatility and unreliable payouts over the last decade. Although its payout ratio of 55.7% and cash payout ratio of 5.8% suggest that dividends are well-covered by both earnings and cash flows, the overall dividend yield of 3.17% remains below the TW market's top quartile at 4.33%. Recent financials show a rebound in net income to TWD 71.06 million from TWD 46.87 million year-over-year, which could provide some support for future dividends despite past inconsistencies.

MediaTek (TWSE:2454)

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

Overview: MediaTek Inc. is a company based in Taiwan that specializes in the research, development, production, and marketing of multimedia integrated circuits (ICs) across Asia and globally, with a market capitalization of approximately NT$2.05 trillion.

Operations: MediaTek Inc. generates NT$471.25 billion primarily from the design and sale of multimedia and mobile phone chips.

Dividend Yield: 4.6%

MediaTek's recent performance indicates challenges in dividend sustainability. Despite a notable increase in Q1 2024 earnings, with net income rising to TWD 31.54 billion from TWD 16.87 billion year-over-year, the company's high payout ratio of 95.3% raises concerns about its ability to maintain dividends without impacting operational funds. Additionally, MediaTek's dividend yield of 4.64% ranks well within the top quartile of TW market payers but is undermined by its unreliable and volatile dividend history over the past decade. The launch of Dimensity 9300+ could bolster future performance, yet immediate impacts on dividends are uncertain given current financial pressures and sales volatility noted in April’s reduced net sales figures.
