Legacy LCD panel maker that has pivoted much of its business toward Taipei real estate development.
Legacy LCD panel maker that has pivoted much of its business toward Taipei real estate development.
Still sells small and mid-size LCD panels, but a sizeable part of its profit potential now comes from property in Taipei, where land and building sales or development gains arrive in lumps, so earnings are uneven from year to year.
Moat: none. Commoditized legacy panel business with no scale edge; real estate arm is asset-driven, not moat-driven.
Headquarters: Taipei, Taiwan · Founded: 1998 · Employees: 1,984
