๐ Editor’s Comment (Management Perspective)
The company identifies AI infrastructure (servers and networks), automotive electrification (ADAS and EVs), and flagship smartphone advancements as sustained growth opportunities despite seasonal volatility in mobile and PC markets. Management’s core strategy centers on expanding customer qualifications for industrial high-temperature/high-capacitance and automotive high-temperature/high-voltage/high-capacitance MLCCs , increasing high-value FCBGA volume via the stabilization of its new overseas production facility , and executing timely mass production of flagship optical modules while diversifying automotive OEM accounts.
Key tracking points moving forward include the mass production stabilization pace of the new overseas manufacturing plant and the resulting shipment volume expansion in high-value AI/server/network/automotive FCBGA substrates within the Package Solution Unit. Additionally, investors should monitor client qualification progress for high-temperature/high-voltage/high-capacitance automotive MLCCs , as well as customer diversification milestones in automotive cameras, including penetration into domestic legacy OEMs, in subsequent quarterly filings.
