Operations: Hua Eng Wire & Cable Co., Ltd.'s revenue segments consist of NT$5.20 billion from cable, NT$2.92 billion from wire materials, and NT$3.13 billion from copper products.
Dividend Yield: 4.2%
Hua Eng Wire & Cable's recent financial performance shows a decrease in net income to TWD 656.05 million for 2024, impacting its dividend sustainability despite an increase in sales. The company proposed a dividend of TWD 1.0 per share, with dividends covered by earnings (payout ratio: 64.7%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio: 42.2%).

ASUSTeK Computer (TWSE:2357)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. engages in the research, development, design, manufacture, sale, and repair of computers, communications equipment, and consumer electronic products globally with a market cap of approximately NT$410.75 billion.
Operations: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. generates revenue primarily from its 3C Brand segment, which amounts to NT$548.53 billion.
Dividend Yield: 6.1%
ASUSTeK Computer's dividend yield is among the top 25% in Taiwan, but its sustainability is questionable due to high cash payout ratios (461.9%). Earnings cover dividends at an 80.4% payout ratio, yet free cash flow coverage remains inadequate. The stock trades at a favorable price-to-earnings ratio of 13.1x compared to the market average of 17.6x, offering good relative value despite past dividend volatility and unreliability over the last decade.
