For Q1 2026, ASE posted unaudited consolidated net revenues of NT$173,662 million (US$5,508 million), up 17.2% year over year (in NT$ terms), even as revenue dipped 2.4% sequentially versus Q4—consistent with typical semiconductor seasonality.

3. Why the ATM segment matters

The biggest strength was in the ATM (assembly, testing and material) business, where March 2026 ATM net revenues were NT$39,823 million (US$1,261 million), up 13.9% sequentially and up 27.6% year over year; Q1 2026 ATM net revenues rose 29.7% year over year to NT$112,434 million (US$3,566 million). With advanced packaging and test demand increasingly tied to AI and high-performance compute chips, the market tends to reward signs of accelerating growth in this segment. (stocktitan.net)
