CHPT's First Quarter Profit Hits Record High, Earning NT$10.43 Per Share

Central News Agency (Reporter Chung Jung-feng, Taipei, 28th) – Semiconductor test interface manufacturer Chunghwa Precision Test Tech (CHPT) announced this afternoon its first-quarter net profit attributable to owners of the parent company reached NT$342 million, exceeding one capital share, setting a new quarterly record. This represents a 20% increase from the previous quarter and a 54.6% increase compared to the same period in 2025, with basic earnings per share of NT$10.43.

On March 20, CHPT held the groundbreaking ceremony for its new third factory in Pingzhen Industrial Park, with an engineering cost of NT$2.007 billion. CHPT stated today that, considering actual operational needs and current market conditions, the board of directors resolved to approve an additional budget plan for the new third factory, increasing the budget by NT$499.4 million. The total budget after the increase will be NT$2.5064 billion, and the total investment including land and equipment costs is expected to rise to NT$4.087 billion.

Regarding its first-quarter operations, CHPT stated that it primarily benefited from strong order momentum for high-performance computing (HPC) test interfaces. Consolidated revenue for the quarter was NT$1.357 billion, a 13.5% increase quarter-on-quarter and a 17.8% increase compared to the same period in 2025. The gross profit margin for the quarter was 56.8%, an increase of 0.8 percentage points quarter-on-quarter and 3 percentage points year-on-year.

CHPT pointed out that three indicators for the first quarter – revenue, operating profit of NT$397 million, and earnings per share after tax – all set new single-quarter records.

CHPT stated that its first-quarter performance was boosted by the global wave of artificial intelligence (AI) applications and strong orders for high-performance computing. Probe cards accounted for nearly 30% of total revenue, which was a key engine for performance growth.

CHPT previously stated that its order visibility extends to 2027, with some products seeing visibility to 2028. The company targets quarterly growth in performance this year, with expectations for another record high for the full year. (Edited by Yang Lan-hsuan) 1150428
