New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Taiwanese stocks, typically moving 6.3% a week.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (10.0% operating cash flow to total debt).
