Key Figures
Market Reality Check
Peers on Argus
ASX was down 2.06% pre-release despite mixed peer moves: STM +3.38%, ON +5.19%, GFS +0.88%, while CRDO -10.68% and UMC -0.70%. The divergence suggests a stock-specific setup rather than a broad semiconductor move.
Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 30 | Q3 2025 earnings | Positive | +4.2% | Revenue and EPS grew QoQ and YoY with stronger margins and ATM strength. |
| Jul 31 | Q2 2025 earnings | Negative | -8.0% | Revenue grew but net income and EPS slipped year over year, pressuring sentiment. |
| Apr 30 | Q1 2025 earnings | Positive | -0.5% | Double-digit revenue and net income growth with better margins and ATM gains. |
| Feb 13 | Q4/FY 2024 earnings | Positive | +5.6% | Q4 and full-year revenue and net income rose versus 2023 with solid mix. |
| Oct 31 | Q3 2024 earnings | Positive | -2.5% | Strong revenue and EPS growth but mixed segment margins, especially in EMS. |
Earnings releases have produced mixed reactions: positive Q3 and FY 2024 prints saw gains, while other strong quarters drew muted or negative moves, indicating inconsistent alignment between fundamentals and short-term price action.
Recent earnings show a steady build in ASE’s fundamentals. In Q1–Q3 2025, revenues and net income generally trended higher, with ATM driving growth and EMS lagging. Margins improved from mid-teens gross to high-teens by Q3 2025, while balance sheet metrics like current ratio and net debt to equity stayed manageable. The new Q4 and full-year 2025 results extend this trajectory, with higher revenues, EPS, and margin expansion, reinforcing the multi-quarter improvement highlighted in prior earnings releases.
Historical Comparison
Across the last five earnings releases, ASX’s average next-day move was about -0.23%, showing that even solid results often generated only modest or mixed price reactions.
Earnings from Q3 2024 through Q3 2025 show rising revenues, improving gross and operating margins, and growing ATM contribution, with EMS comparatively weaker yet stable. The new Q4/FY 2025 report extends this multi-quarter improvement trend.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement details robust 4Q25 and full-year 2025 performance, with net revenues of NT$177,915 million for the quarter and NT$645,388 million for the year, alongside higher EPS and improved gross and operating margins. ATM remains the growth engine, while EMS is more subdued. Compared with earlier 2025 quarters and FY 2024, the results extend a trend of gradual margin and earnings improvement. Investors may watch future segment mix, capex levels, and continued margin progression in upcoming periods.
