Looking ahead, Taiwan’s printed circuit board giant Zhen Ding Technology expects a strong growth trajectory beginning in the second quarter, as clients ramp up production on next-generation platforms. The company projects that momentum in its server and optical communications businesses will expand quarter by quarter, while its IC substrate segment is set to benefit from robust AI computing demand, driving sequential growth. Zhen Ding anticipates entering a new phase of accelerated expansion in 2026.
China’s AgiBot Innovation (Shanghai) Technology has shipped its 10,000th humanoid robot, the Agibot Expedition A3, signalling early mass production at scale. Output doubled from 5,000 units at the end of 2025 within three months. While Tesla’s Optimus timeline remains under scrutiny, China’s humanoid robot push is already scaling, led by AgiBot, Unitree Robotics, and Ubtech Robotics in an emerging three-player structure.
US ride-hailing platform Uber has announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deploy its in-house custom chips, aiming to improve the speed and efficiency of artificial intelligence (AI) model training and inference. The move is expected to strengthen Uber’s real-time computing capabilities across ride-hailing and delivery services, while highlighting a broader push by cloud providers to capture AI infrastructure demand through proprietary silicon.
