Taiwan Stocks Rebound! 00991A Fills Dividend Gap on First Ex-Dividend Day with Over 9% Annualized Yield

Fu-Hua Future 50 (00991A-TW), the top-performing active Taiwan stock ETF in the first half of the year, marked its first post-listing ex-dividend day today (21st). Driven by a strong rebound in Taiwan stocks and significant gains in its major component stocks, the ETF successfully filled its dividend gap before noon. It closed up NT$0.98 (6.23%) at NT$16.71.

According to dividend announcements on Fu-Hua Asset Management's official website, the semi-annual dividend for 00991A is NT$0.77 per unit. Based on yesterday's (20th) closing price of NT$16.50, the annualized dividend yield is approximately 9.3%.

Statistics show that 00991A's stock price surged 97.3% in the first half of the year. Recently, its price corrected along with the broader market and AI supply chain stocks, retesting support at the monthly and quarterly moving averages. However, it continued to attract capital inflows from investors buying on dips, with the number of unitholders and total assets increasing by over 70,000 and NT$8.5 billion respectively in the past month.

Looking ahead, asset management firms note that short-term volatility is mainly due to position adjustments, particularly heavier selling pressure in semiconductor and memory stocks. Despite increased volatility, this does not indicate a broad weakening trend. The growth outlook for the AI industry remains intact, and investors should watch for opportunities to reposition after prices correct and investor sentiment stabilizes.
