Delta Electronics Inc’s (台達電) shares surpassed NT$900 for the first time yesterday, lifting its stock market value to the third-largest on the local main board, as the company’s power solutions and cooling products benefit from strong demand for artificial intelligence (AI) server power and data center infrastructure.
Shares of the leading provider of power electronics and thermal management solutions closed 2.14 percent higher at NT$907, a record high and valuing Delta at NT$2.36 trillion (US$78 billion), Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) data showed.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (台積電), the world’s largest contract chipmaker, had a market cap of NT$33.58 trillion yesterday, still the most valuable company in Taiwan, the exchange’s data showed.
Delta is among several local companies in the power supply and heat dissipation sectors, including Lite-On Technology Corp (光寶科技) and Auras Technology Co (雙鴻科技), that have seen shares surge this year due to their rising exposure to the rapidly evolving AI server and data center markets.
“Delta’s good technology capability and well-established relationships with major clients could enable the company to better reap AI hardware growth than its peers,” S&P Global Ratings said in a statement in July.
As AI servers are becoming increasingly powerful and data centers consume huge amounts of electricity, the issues of power supply and heat dissipation have caught market attention, although challenges also arise from rapid changes in the power supply and thermal management for those applications, analysts said.
“Delta is benefiting from the clear centralized and high-voltage trend for power structures, accelerating liquid-cooling solution shipments, and continued market share gains,” Yuanta Securities Investment and Consulting Co (元大投顧) said in a note on Sept. 10.
Yuanta has set a 12-month target price of NT$1,050 for Delta, which has rallied 110.69 percent since the beginning of the year, outperforming the broader market’s 12.35 percent rise over the period, TWSE data showed.
Yuanta expects revenue contribution from AI-related components and related systems to reach NT$115.1 billion and account for 22 percent of Delta’s total revenue this year, from about 15 percent last year.
The figures are forecast to rise to NT$220.9 billion next year (34 percent of total revenue) and NT$367.8 billion in 2027 (45 percent of total revenue), the note said.
Cairo’s new monorail slices across the city skyline, running above the familiar chaos of blaring horns and aging buses’ exhaust fumes that mark rush hour below. The US$4.5 billion monorail, opened this month, is among Egypt’s most prominent new transport projects, part of a debt-funded infrastructure drive criticized for sapping state finances while bringing limited benefits to most of the country’s 109 million people. “It feels like you’re in a different country,” said Ramy Sayed, a restaurant manager, aboard a driverless Innovia 300 train. “No noise, no traffic, we’re not used to this.” The eastern line runs 56km from the bustling middle-class
Starlux Airlines Co (星宇航空) today unveiled a long-haul network expansion plan at a shareholders’ meeting in Taipei, including direct flights to Barcelona, Spain, and Zurich, Switzerland, as well as a service connecting Taipei, Sydney and New Zealand. Starlux is to become the first Taiwanese carrier to offer non-stop services to the two European cities, while the inaugural oceanic route is expected to expand transit opportunities within the Australia-New Zealand market, Starlux said. Flight services to Chicago, Dallas, Washington and New York are under evaluation, the airline added. Prior to the shareholders’ meeting, the airline earlier this year announced that it would be
Taiwanese prosecutors suspect that three people successfully smuggled at least one shipment of Nvidia Corp artificial intelligence (AI) chips to China after first exporting them to Japan, people familiar with the matter said. The trio was detained last week by the Keelung District Prosecutors’ Office for allegedly falsifying documents related to exports of Super Micro Computer Inc servers containing advanced Nvidia chips, which the US has barred from sale to China without a license from Washington. The move marked Taiwan’s first public crackdown on AI chip diversion after years of pressure from the US to take a more active role in curtailing
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) employee bonuses are likely to grow more than 30 percent this year, in line with the past few years as the company’s profits continue to set new records, an anonymous source cited TSMC chairman C.C. Wei (魏哲家) as saying yesterday. TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, is committed to taking care of its workers, the source said, citing Wei’s meeting with employees yesterday morning. Wei also expressed gratitude to employees for their contribution to the company’s improving bottom line, the source added. Since 2023, TSMC’s employee bonuses have grown at an annual rate of
