Operating profit was NT$4,144M; the 11.0% operating margin rose 0.4pp YoY and 1.1pp QoQ.
Net non-operating income was NT$606M, down 34.9% YoY and 6.0% QoQ, mainly due to FX and financial-asset valuation losses.
9M operating costs rose to NT$58,066.585M from NT$47,689.698M; inventory obsolescence and market-value allowances were a NT$534.318M expense versus a NT$520.081M reversal.
Outlook and guidance
Q4 order momentum remained stable; seasonality may not bring the usual revenue slowdown, supported by mix and pricing, while PC demand is expected to weaken further.
2027 top-line growth is expected to remain steady, driven by higher ASPs, specification upgrades and new products; Wi-Fi 7, multi-gigabit Ethernet and 10G PON should improve mix.
Gross margin is expected to recover gradually in H2 2026; 2027 pricing will be measured amid changing foundry and OSAT costs, with focus on stable profitability and growth.
OpEx ratio is expected to remain broadly stable near term; over time, revenue is expected to grow faster than operating expenses as higher-value solutions expand.
