July 28, 2026 - 04:42

Amkor Technology reported its highest-ever second-quarter revenue, reaching $1.9 billion. The semiconductor packaging and test specialist saw a 13 percent sequential increase and a 26 percent jump compared to the same period last year. The company's performance exceeded the top end of its own guidance, fueled by strong demand in the computing sector and the automotive and industrial markets.

Chief Executive Giel Rutten highlighted the broad-based growth during the earnings call. He noted that the company's advanced packaging services, particularly for high-performance computing and networking applications, contributed significantly to the revenue surge. The automotive segment also showed resilience, with demand for chips used in electric vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems remaining robust.

Despite the positive results, management provided a measured outlook for the coming quarters. Executives pointed to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and potential inventory adjustments by some customers. However, they expressed confidence in the long-term demand drivers for semiconductor packaging, including artificial intelligence, 5G connectivity, and the increasing electronic content in vehicles. The company continues to invest in new manufacturing capacity, especially in its facilities in Asia, to meet future demand.
