ADATA Issues Cash Dividend of 5 TWD! Memory Module Maker Resists Tariff Impact with Advanced Cooling Technology

[FTNN News Network] Reporter Chou Ya-Chi / Comprehensive report In early April, U.S. President Trump implemented an equal tariff policy, leading to a rapid decline in global stock markets, with the Taiwan stock market experiencing a significant drop. On April 7th, the market opened with a 2065-point plunge, reaching a drop of 9.7%. By the end of April, the market gradually recovered, with the Taiwan stock index ultimately down by 460.87 points, closing at 20235.03 points. Despite facing tariff impacts, memory module manufacturer ADATA (3260) saw its share price decrease slightly by 1.4 TWD, a decline of 1.65%, demonstrating resilience. In the first half of April, ADATA announced its entry into the enterprise storage market and began a collaboration with the South Korean semiconductor company FADU, with the three major investors remaining optimistic, leading to a repurchase of 210 million TWD in April. Recently, the Board of Directors decided to distribute a cash dividend of 5 TWD per share in the second half of 113; based on the share price of 83.7 TWD on the 30th, the cash dividend yield reaches 5.97%. ADATA (3260) managed to resist tariff impacts with only a slight decrease of 1.4 TWD or 1.65%. Facing commodity price volatility and geopolitical pressures, ADATA's Chairman Chen Li-Pai stated that due to the rising prices of DRAM and NAND Flash, the company has completed its procurement layout with the support of suppliers. Low-cost inventory has begun arriving since April and is expected to support customer demand and upcoming revenue growth. Additionally, ADATA's e-sports brand XPG has launched the MARS 980 series PCIe Gen5 SSD, which targets the rapid growth in AI applications and high-performance demands, boasting read and write speeds of 14,000MB per second, and employing a 6nm process control chip for optimized computing performance and energy efficiency. The cooling solution utilizes both liquid and air cooling technologies, successfully overcoming the thermal bottleneck of PCIe Gen5 SSDs during high-speed operation.
