Operations: West Holdings Corporation generates revenue primarily from its renewable energy business operations in Japan and abroad.
Dividend Yield: 4.1%

Otec trades at a significant discount to its estimated fair value, suggesting potential value for investors seeking growth alongside dividends amidst its unstable track record.
