TDK's stock rises despite lower-than-expected earnings, seen as a better value by investors.

TDK Corporation, a Japanese electronics firm, saw its share price rise to $11.66 after reporting a lower-than-expected net income of $0.02 per share for the latest quarter. Despite missing analyst forecasts, TDK's stock appears more affordable with a lower price-to-earnings ratio and is less volatile than the S&P 500. The company, which operates in five segments including passive components and sensor products, outperforms its peers in financial metrics and pays a 1.4% dividend yield.
