Ample Electronic, a supplier of conductive paste materials for passive components, said strong artificial intelligence demand has helped drive a hot multilayer ceramic capacitor market and pushed customer orders higher. The Taiwan-based company reported July consolidated revenue of NT$269 million(US$8.33 million), a record high, while earnings per share for the second quarter of 2025 also reached a quarterly peak as downstream demand accelerated.

Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology (ESMT) has benefited from a severe supply shortage in the niche memory market. July revenue jumped 40% from June to a monthly record, extending an explosive second-quarter 2026 performance. The company said higher product prices and tighter supply-demand conditions are driving the surge, and it expects the extreme capacity crunch to continue, with the second half of the year likely to outperform the first half.

Parade said its second-quarter 2026 results were squeezed by a sudden increase in back-end testing and packaging costs, but the high-speed interface chip designer remains confident about demand going forward. For global readers, the takeaway is that rising memory prices are reshaping notebook and PC supply chains, yet AI-driven upgrades could still support growth ahead.
