What Walsin Technology does

Taiwanese maker of passive electronic components — multilayer ceramic capacitors and resistors — used across consumer and industrial electronics, part of Walsin Group.

Sells components in huge volumes at low unit prices, so earnings rise and fall with factory utilisation and inventory restocking in electronics. It sits in the Walsin Lihwa group, a Taiwanese industrial group, and competes with larger rivals such as Murata, Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Yageo.

In one line: A smaller Taiwanese passive-components maker, akin to a regional Yageo.
