Wistron ITS (WITS) chairman and CEO Ching Hsiao said the company expects continued growth in 2026. While AI may disrupt some industries, it is also driving demand for IT services and creating new opportunities—and WITS expects revenue to keep rising as a result.

After a challenging 2025, flexible printed circuit (FPC) giant Flexium Interconnect is optimistic about its revenue and profit outlook, driven by accelerated transformation in high-speed transmission products. The company expects full-year growth in 2026 fueled by strong demand in two key sectors: new models for major US smartphone customers and applications in AI servers and wearable devices.

Global headlines may proclaim a fully autonomous era, but AW 2026 told a different story. The show made clear that robots are not yet fully autonomous — a fact obscured by modern robotics coverage. The industry is heading in the right direction, but independent operation remains out of reach. A surprising number of robots were teleoperated via controllers. Those left unsupervised often struggled with basic environmental navigation.

AcBel Polytech delivered robust results in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by growth in AI data centers and fuel cell products, and said the momentum carried into early 2026 as it expands its power solution business. The company said it is intensifying its high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power system strategy to play a more significant role in AI data center infrastructure.

Samsung Electronics is reportedly planning to adopt a 2-nanometer (nm) process for the base die of its next-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM), HBM4E, aiming to enhance its technological competitiveness. Industry experts see this as part of Samsung's broader strategy to leverage its advantage as a leading integrated device manufacturer (IDM) in the global AI semiconductor race.

Ayar Labs and Wiwynn announced a strategic partnership to deliver optically connected, rack-scale AI systems designed for next-generation hyperscale AI workloads.

Leveraging a dual-track strategy in AI server power supplies and AI edge computing applications, electronic components maker Sysgration announced it has officially transitioned from its preparation phase into a harvesting period. Helped along by Pegatron's strategic investments, the company expects operational growth to reach double digits in 2026, with growth in data centers fueling demand for battery backup units (BBUs).

India's traditional PC market reached a record 15.9 million shipments in 2025, rising 10.2% year over year, according to IDC. Strong enterprise demand, rising adoption of AI-enabled notebooks, and robust notebook sales drove the market to its highest annual volume ever.

Benefiting from the continued expansion of its artificial intelligence (AI) server business, Asustek Computer reported a record full-year net profit after tax of NT$44.56 billion (approx. US$1.40 billion) for 2025, up 42% year over year. Looking ahead to the first quarter of 2026, Asustek Chief Financial Officer Nick Wu said the server business will maintain strong growth, with revenue expected to rise 50% to 100% sequentially and quadruple to quintuple compared with the same period last year.

Elon Musk announced a joint venture between xAI and Tesla on March 11 aimed at building a system capable of emulating the operations of other companies. The move comes as autonomous AI agents draw growing attention from leading tech companies — and concern from those who fear they could upend the software industry or displace white-collar workers entirely.
