Memory module supplier Adata Technology Co (威剛科技) yesterday reported that revenue last month shrank 15.15 percent month-on-month, weighed by prolonged price declines for NAND flash memory chips and sagging seasonal demand.
Revenue slipped to NT$2.51 billion (US$82.19 million), compared with NT$2.96 billion in May, representing an annual contraction of 8.73 percent from NT$2.75 billion.
In the April-to-June quarter, the company’s revenue fell 0.25 percent to NT$7.93 billion from NT$7.95 billion in the previous quarter.
Adata gave a positive outlook for this quarter, as seasonal demand is to propel consumer electronics shipments and prompt a rebound in memorychip prices.
A downward spiral in NAND prices would help stimulate better adoption of solid state drives in notebook computers in the second half of the year, the company said.
DRAM prices are to remain stable or even climb a little this quarter, backed by growing demand for data centers and artificial intelligence applications, as well as bigger memory in new smartphones, Adata said.
Overall, DRAM supply and demand is to reach parity this quarter, Adata said.
In the first six months of the year, revenue rose 0.35 percent annually to NT$15.89 billion, with DRAM sales jumping 20 percent to NT$9.82 billion to account for 61.77 percent of the company’s total revenue, Adata said.
The compnay also expects higher non-operating gains from its lottery subsidiary, Taiwan Sports Lottery Co (台灣運彩), which posted record-high revenue of NT$5.06 billion last month, up 65 percent from a month earlier, thanks to the FIFA World Cup.
The Eurovision Song Contest has seen a surge in punter interest at the bookmakers, becoming a major betting event, experts said ahead of last night’s giant glamfest in Basel. “Eurovision has quietly become one of the biggest betting events of the year,” said Tomi Huttunen, senior manager of the Online Computer Finland (OCS) betting and casino platform. Betting sites have long been used to gauge which way voters might be leaning ahead of the world’s biggest televised live music event. However, bookmakers highlight a huge increase in engagement in recent years — and this year in particular. “We’ve already passed 2023’s total activity and
Nvidia Corp CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) today announced that his company has selected "Beitou Shilin" in Taipei for its new Taiwan office, called Nvidia Constellation, putting an end to months of speculation. Industry sources have said that the tech giant has been eyeing the Beitou Shilin Science Park as the site of its new overseas headquarters, and speculated that the new headquarters would be built on two plots of land designated as "T17" and "T18," which span 3.89 hectares in the park.

China yesterday announced anti-dumping duties as high as 74.9 percent on imports of polyoxymethylene (POM) copolymers, a type of engineering plastic, from Taiwan, the US, the EU and Japan. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce’s findings conclude a probe launched in May last year, shortly after the US sharply increased tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, computer chips and other imports. POM copolymers can partially replace metals such as copper and zinc, and have various applications, including in auto parts, electronics and medical equipment, the Chinese ministry has said. In January, it said initial investigations had determined that dumping was taking place, and implemented preliminary
Intel Corp yesterday reinforced its determination to strengthen its partnerships with Taiwan’s ecosystem partners including original-electronic-manufacturing (OEM) companies such as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) and chipmaker United Microelectronics Corp (UMC, 聯電). “Tonight marks a new beginning.
