ASE reports Q2 revenue up 26.7% and advanced packaging for AI ahead of its target
ASE, which assembles and tests chips, said its advanced packaging for AI is ahead of its $3.5 billion target and it aims to double it in 2027.
On 30 July 2026 ASE Technology, a Taiwanese company that assembles and tests chips, reported second-quarter revenue of NT$191.1 billion, up 26.7% from a year earlier. Its presentation said AI demands new hardware in size, complexity and integration. On the earnings call it said revenue from its leading-edge advanced packaging services is tracking ahead of its $3.5 billion goal for this year, and it aims to double that revenue in 2027 (ASE SEC filing, 30 July 2026, and call transcript).
