Insights

Semiconductor earnings analyst

Q1 2026 shows strong year-on-year recovery and margin expansion with upbeat Q2 guidance.

ASE Technology delivered Q1 2026 net revenues of NT$173,662 million, up 17% year over year, while net income attributable to shareholders nearly doubled to NT$14,148 million. Operating margin rose to 10.1%, versus 6.5% in Q1 2025, indicating better mix or cost control.

The ATM business drove profitability, generating NT$112,434 million of revenue with a 26.0% gross margin and 14.1% operating margin. EMS revenue was NT$61,875 million, essentially flat year over year, but its operating margin improved to 3.1%. Balance sheet metrics strengthened as the net debt to equity ratio fell to 0.40, supported by quarterly EBITDA of NT$38,165 million.

Management’s outlook for Q2 2026 calls for consolidated revenue growth of 7%–9% quarter over quarter, gross margin up 20–100 basis points, and operating margin up 50–120 basis points. They also project ATM revenue growth of 9%–11% quarter over quarter and at least 10% year-over-year growth in EMS revenue, suggesting continued momentum if business conditions track this guidance.
