友达:部分面板客户拉货积极,供需逐渐恢复平衡
面板市况逐步露出曙光,友达董事长彭双浪8月31日领头报佳音。他指出,近期已有部分品牌客户拉货转趋积极,整体供需逐步恢复到较平衡的状态,“这对产业是好消息”。
面板报价从去年下半年开始修正,成为此波科技业率先面临景气下行的行业,友达、群创第2季都由盈转亏,终止连七季获利,并纷纷减产因应。彭双浪7月底于法说会对景气看法偏向保守,昨天改口转趋正向,透露面板市况正逐步浮出水面。
法人分析,彭双浪松口对景气展望转趋乐观,应与面板制造商减产效应奏效,及三星传出恢复电视零组件拉货有关。

彭双浪昨天出席在台北科技大学举行的“友达北科联合研发中心”揭牌典礼,会后受访表示,品牌厂去年对今年预估数字的确有些过于乐观,导致今年上半年库存水平较高,加上战争、升息、通膨等外在因素影响消费,让品牌厂拉货放缓,转为调节库存为主。
随着上半年品牌厂调整库存效应奏效,彭双浪透露,目前已看到一些品牌厂库存恢复健康水平,拉货转为积极,这对产业是好消息;明年产业能否自谷底翻扬,仍有待观察。
近期品牌客户拉货转趋积极,所指是否为三星,彭双浪未正面回应,强调各家品牌下半年状况不同,现阶段无法一概而论。
彭双浪强调,友达营运策略是不积库存,这可从第2季友达库存金额为业界最低,以确保用新鲜的货供应给客户。现今工厂产能利用率并不那么满 ,未来客户有任何需求,可实时因应。(来源:台湾经济日报)
